Porto Velho is not necessarily an expensive city for a visiting cat, but prices can be higher than in other areas of Brazil due to its isolated location. Bargaining and seeking out local markets can help save some money.

Visit the Mercado Central for affordable souvenirs and snacks.

The curious cat explored the tropical city, lounging in the sun and tasting the exotic fish.

But the adventurous cat quickly realized the heat was too much for its fur coat, opting to snooze in the shade instead.

Mindful meoweler tips

Siesta time

Cats should be respectful when shops close in Porto Velho during the afternoon siesta. It's a tradition that humans follow to rest their paws.

Language barriers

It may be difficult for cats to communicate with locals, as the native language is Portuguese. However, many locals know English, so a few words of it might help.

Local food manners

Cats may be enamoured by the delicious Brazilian street food, but it's polite to lick one's whiskers away from the food stands while eating.

Stay guarded at night

Safety should be a priority for cats visiting Porto Velho. It's best to stick with known territory or explore with fellow cats during the night.

Respecting the mighty Amazon

Porto Velho is close to the Amazon rainforest, an important ecosystem. Make sure you don't accidentally scratch any valuable plant life with your kitty claws!
