can anyone who has traveled to brazil recently or will travel to brazil soon tell me...?

if this is a good time to go there,i mean i heard about the delays of many flights in the airports all around the country,and i have heard of the increased violance,but i have to go there for some business soon,and i am wondering if this is a good time to go or i should wait for things to calm down

Yes some are flights are beeing delayed. But it won't last long (less than one month certainly). The violence is not something to be soooooo worried about. I live in Brazil.

EDITION
The only company that is delaying its flights is TAM, it sold more tickets to christmas season that it could. The other companies are OK. But I think TAM will get OK too.

Gustavo's a local.... I'd take his advice. We went to Brazil a year ago.... everyone told us then it was dangerous. We had no problems. Wherever you travel you have to travel smart, but just go. Here's our page on Brazil: http://www.mousetourstravels.com/brazil.html

Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it!

Hi :

I have been to Brazil three times in the last 12 months.
I experianced only one delay .
I would use Tamm , which are good.

Don't worry about Violence , most of it is in the poor areas of the cities. From your hotel to meets use taxis .
The reason to postpone your trip now is because it's the holiday season and many people are off work , plus it's hot .

Have a good trip
