Salvador da Bahia--currency exchange
I will be traveling to Salvador next week--any suggestions on the best places to exchange currency (best rates)? I'll be staying at a hostel, not a hotel, and do not believe they do exchanges.
Obrigada!

Probably the airport. There are a range of tourism operators who do provide cambio services both in the Pelourinho and in Comercio. There are a couple in Largo Terreiro de Jesus, near the Banco do Brasil.

Big Bank ATMs with Credit Card only or inside the bank
My Capitalone.com no fee Visa CC works best
Avoid Cambios bad exchange clip u 20-30% lots of couterfeit
Avoid Debit Cards leave them at home too much
"skimming" good thief can clean you out kidnap risk
Credit Cards only coinmill.com best daily exchange rate.
insuremytrip.com always wise usually Patriot for me from $1/da
