Trekking and off roading (in a 4x4 vehicle) are incredibly dangerous if someone naively decides to undertake those activities by themselves; ALWAYS go with at least one other person and preferably with many others and/or a qualified local guide. In addition, whether on foot or in a 4x4, always...

POS systems in Brasil offering "dynamic currency conversion" option(choose an amount in USD or BRL on the touch screen of the POS) are actually pretty common; however it is a SCAM so always choose to process the payment in BRL as it will be cheaper.
