Live in Rio but visiting BA and Mar del Plata regularly.

For all those who visit BA whith short notice, be aware of holidays in Brasil it is alomost impossible to get a hotel room with short notice when there is a long weekend in Brasil.

My last horrible experience was in November.

There are a lot of short holidays in Brasil.

Like in the US, people claim to have short holiday breaks, when for 10 weekends during the year nothing works for all those special breaks.

For people in Sao Paolo (or any other affluent Brasilian city) Argentina is now the place to go for cheap shopping.

Anyway, be sure to book your stay long in advance of any Brasilian holiday break.
