International Travel in Brazil: real experience from chats

Short answer
A five-hour layover at GRU is insufficient for exiting the airport if baggage re-check and border control are required. Brazil does not require an ETA for tourists, and yellow fever vaccination remains a critical entry consideration for travel to Peru.

From real experience

Key questions regarding travel to Brazil: 1. Layover duration: Is 5 hours sufficient for a transfer in Sao Paulo (GRU T2) with baggage re-check and border control? 2. Entry requirements: Is an ETA form required for tourist entry into Brazil? 3. Yellow fever: What are the implications of not having a yellow fever vaccination certificate for a 10-hour transit in Sao Paulo (allowing city exploration) and entry into Peru? How to restore a lost yellow fever vaccination certificate obtained in Rio de Janeiro?
