Protect Your Bubble Offers Tips for Anyone Traveling to Brazil for Carnival CelebrationsATLANTA, Ga., Feb 08, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Those looking to experience 'Carnival,' should head to Brazil. The locals really know how to go all out before Ash Wednesday and the Lenten season. Protect Your Bubble, travel insurance brand, has a list of excellent tips for those who want to experience Brazil, Carnival, and all it has to offer. Fall in Rio - The Southern Hemisphere has opposite seasons, so Carnival is more of the Fall than winter in the U.S. Summer is on the way out when Carnival rolls in, so prices may be a bit higher, but a smart shopper can find something appropriate. Bus - The bus system in Brazil is quite good, so those who are traveling under 200 miles may find it helpful. The only drawback is there is practically no English, so find a ticket booth with clear signs of destinations. The word "direto" means fewer stops. Panama Connection - The Copa Airline of Panama has a program with United. Buy a ticket on one line and use a plane on the other. The Panama to Brazil connection has seven destinations with a brief layover in Panama City. Arrive in Manaus in the Amazon and return from Rio. Go against the flow - A strong economy has created a middle class with modern comforts, including travel. Carnival season books quickly and prices go up significantly, so try to plan on weekends in the city and weekdays in the outlying communities. Eat local - Small dishes called quitutes are all over the streets and locations. Baianas, women in white dresses, sell acaraje - a black-eye pea fritter with shrimp, vatapa sauce and vegetables all for about $3 with two reais to the dollar exchange rate. On the Amazon, try the tacaca, a soup of shrimp and jambu; pasties de feira, pockets of meat, cheese or heart of palm. Car Rental - Renting cars in Brazil is like any large city rental, stressful and expensive. Parking, when you find one, is complicated and expensive. Luckily, Protect Your Bubble's rental car insurance can be used on global travel, for only $7.99 per day. Brasilia for Carnival - Accommodations will be high because of the party, but look for hostels or better yet, apartment rentals for the perfect stay. Buses are cheap and go practically everywhere you will need to go. Consider that as you look for parades. When planning your next getaway, remember that vacation insurance is a great way to cover trip emergencies, cancellations and interruptions. Protect Your Bubble travel protection gives travelers peace of mind, starting at $14 per trip. Visit protectyourbubble.com for a quick quote.
