Some people who read this thread might want a better breakdown... I wrote this about 1 year ago so prices have probably moved up a bit. Remember that it also depends on what city you'll be staying in, it even depends on your spending habits and what part of town you're staying in and current exchange rates... Most likely prices will keep creeping up in Brazil for now...
