We have places to buy Coxinhas here now outside of Brazilian supermarkets:

Yes, it is cheap.

Brazil gets so few foreign tourists (5 million before pandemics) and it has lots of potential. Brazilian Real is devalued and when you make the USD conversion, it's crazy how a luxury trip foreigners could have here. High end, internationally awarded restaurants where you spend R$ 100-R$ 200 or US$ 18-US$ 36. I mean, it's insanely cheap. And for everything else: hotels, cocktail bars, foreigners can just buy the whole country.

I just paid for my trip to Europe in Dec and it's a small fortune in Brazilian Real. Making the conversion makes you depressed.
