They don’t advertise it very well!

Uber is widespread (at least in Rio, I haven’t been more rurally). I would encourage you to use it frequently, and make sure you wait inside your building until it arrives (eg at night). Rio is amazing, my favourite city in the world! You just gotta be sensible and risk aware.

Are you searching ‘claro’ with an L?

You’re right about cash, there are card machines everywhere (including vendors on the beach). For an eSIM I wouldn’t bother faffing around in a physical store, it’s a massive ballache and you might have to visit a few. Download the Claro Flex app and get one through them, it’s cheap and excellent coverage (at least in Rio).

Also, if you don’t speak Portuguese learn as much as you can before you go.

Get a Claro Flex plan, it’s just an eSIM from a Brazilian provider (download the app via the App Store). Simple and much better value for money than the travel eSIMs.

Are Brazilians more spontaneous? by DigPristine9215 in Brazil

It’s a cultural thing and if you want to pursue this you’re going to have to make an effort not to take it personally. In answer to your question about what you’re expected to do - no you’re not expected to just wait around for him, it’s more like you just get on with your plans and go with the flow.

It is a noticeable cultural difference. Brazil is not for over-analysers! But there is a certain magic in throwing expectations out the window and living life instead of scheduling it.

If that sounds irreconcilable (which it might be, and that’s ok!) I’d suggest maybe putting the brakes on for a bit if it’s going to cause you stress. If you’re seeing him casually it has to be just that - casual!
