Episode Details

U.S. travelers to Brazil are on high alert: the State Department has issued a Level Two advisory warning of rising crime and kidnapping risks, especially in border zones, favelas, and satellite cities near Brasília. Gang activity tied to drug trafficking, carjackings, and even drugging in bars or via dating apps are common threats — including targeted attacks on foreigners. While kidnappings for ransom are rare, they’ve occurred. Key safety tips? Avoid walking alone at night, don’t accept drinks from strangers, steer clear of nightclubs solo, and never resist if robbed. Stay informed, stay cautious — your trip could be great… if you’re prepared.
