I can't really help but I do know it's a very big country and you may need to be a bit more specific about where you're going. Rio is a long way from Manaus (for instance).

Its Belem,the capital of the Para province.The large city upon the crossing point of the Atlantic ocean & the Amazon river,in the delta.

You can stay in back packer hostlels for 9usd per night or 30usd for an average hotel room. Health wise I dont know. I had the runs from when I landed until I left for some basar reason. Very nice place though.

Not sure how it will benefit your health - it's an area where there's a definite risk of yellow fever and a slight risk of malaria (which increases as you move away from the city.

Whilst it might be cheap it sounds like a tropical hell hole to me.

Well,the health is improved the following way:the closer to the equator,the larger the atmospheric temperature;the higher the temperature-the pinker the colour of Your skin,no?Why?Because:the more does increase the wedth of each & every blood vessel in Your own body;The larger the road,by which Your blood achieves Your organs,bringing them food & taking away the excrements,the easier to do this;the easier to do this-the healthier each body part is!!!Consider this:WHY exactly noone is upon the web from the equatorial regions?:)The answer is simple-noone needs internet there!Why do they NOT need this king of enjoyments?Isn't the truth is THEY JUST HAVE A LARGER PRESIDENT OF EJOYMENTS EVEN AS WE SPEAK NOW!!!Who is he?The pink-pink blood,like You have it while sitting in a hot bath.Do You think ou need the web in the bath,in case You are the for long?Or:do You beleive that being in a hot bath is useful for Your health?The equatorial population is close to the state of all-day long 24/7 being in a hot bath.Now,dear oldexpat,just what is a "back packer hostel"?Is this a very cheap hotel with many beds 1 room with the rest also common?Tell me also:how much do bananas(other fruits) cost there per 1 kilo?In $$ or in the local currency.Thank You
