Has anyone done this before? Are the warnings exaggerated? Of course, I have the extra wrinkle of being a woman travelling alone (courage or stupidity, I'm not sure which yet) and of being very gringo looking.
I'd appreciate any information which might help me decide which cameras to bring along (no way I'm going without one) and how best to set up in the street.
muita obrigada!
