Cash is king as they say. It is relatively easy to exchange dollars for the Brazilian currency, the Brazilian Real (BRL - pronounced ray-ell), with friends or at banks. The exchange rate is almost always higher locally, as much as 10 percent or more, than the official rate. The official rate is approximately 3.07 real to 1 dollar officially in mid-June; the exchange rate changes daily. Credit card companies usually give the official rate (although American Express gave more); but cc companies sometimes charge a transaction fee, so you loose when you use them
