When moving about do not wear gold chains, crosses, watches, jewelry or expensive cameras dangling loose from your neck. It makes you a target. Wear plain clothes, nothing really fancy (unless going to an event). Keep phones and wallets in inside pockets close to your person. Don’t leave your bags.

If you rent a car or decide to go visit the slums (favelas). Don't go by yourself, always go with a local or someone who knows the area.
