Do you tip in BRAZIL?

Travellers head to Brazil for many reasons. Whether it be to marvel upon the iconic Christ The Redeemer statue in Rio De Janeiro or explore the country’s tropical beaches, exquisite waterfalls and the Amazon Rainforest. It is a country packed full of natural beauty and excitement. 

So if you are reading this then you may naturally be wondering all about tipping in Brazil.

Tipping, for the most part, is standard practice in Brazil. Travellers will find it is a requirement to tip most services, however, there are some notable exceptions. One example is that some restaurants in Brazil charge a 10% gratuity which is worked into the final bill. When this is the case the patron is not required to pay a tip, however, that doesn’t mean you can’t still add a little extra on top of that if you would like to.
