About Landscape

Brazil Risk and Security Overview

Brazil is considered high risk for business and leisure travelers due to violent crimes such as assault, robbery, kidnapping and murder perpetrated by gangs that control the notorious “Favelas”. Non-violent crimes including thefts, pickpocketing and credit card scams are also prevalent in tourist and highly populated locations.

Travel by road in Brazil is medium to high risk. The standard of driving is poor, with many drivers insufficiently trained, uninsured and unqualified. Due to the low driving conditions, traffic can become congested in most major cities, including Rio de Janeiro. High volumes of traffic present a dangerous threat to travelers from opportunistic criminals in the area. Major roads that handrail or dissect through favelas are hotspots for criminal activity and western travelers are at increased risk. Common crimes include accessing static vehicles at traffic lights or during periods of heavy congestion. Criminals are known to steal valuables, and armed violence cannot be ruled out. Click here to learn about the F1 Grand Prix Sao Paulo Robbery Incident

Public transport can be unsafe for foreign travelers. Major transport hubs in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo can be particularly vulnerable to criminal activity.

As part of our service, all clients have free access to our ExploreSecure® eLearning Travel Security training pre-departure.
