Credit cards are safe and help you avoid carrying too much cash. Great for shopping and restaurants.
But make sure it's an international card with low fees. Let your bank know before your trip.
Carrying some cash is useful for small places or street markets. It's better to withdraw from ATM24h.
Some places in Brazil only accept cash, especially in rural areas. Always keep some with you.
The best option? Take both: use your credit card for security and cash for emergencies. Enjoy your trip!
