Lastest information on traveling in Brazil from the US Department of State. This information should be read in intirety before planning a trip.

Lucia at Southwind Travel and Tour in Los Angeles tells me that at present, tickets to Brazil are tight and a little pricey. She is also recommending that everyone traveling to Brazil get vacinated for Yellow Fever.
January 14, 2008
There are mixed reports coming from Brazil about the risk of contracting Dengue and Yellow fever. Both of these diseases are transmitted by mosquitos. There is a vacine for Yellow fever, which can be obtained in the USA and Europe, but not for Dengue.
The best protection in both cases is to avoid mosquito bites. Use mosquito
repellant and make sure you have screens on the windows where you sleep and
avoid side trips to wooded areas. Mosquito bites on the lower legs and feet
during the day are common around Abadiania. Keep covered up.

Update October 10, 2007
Today I spoke with Lucia of Southwind Travel concerning flight delays in Brazil. She tells me that she will not book anyone going to Brazilia through Congonhas Airport, the domestic airport in Sao Paulo. In fact she tries to book as many as possible through Rio de Janiero, and also tries to avoid booking with TAM Airlines.
Udate August 1, 2007
Domestic flights in Brazil are experiencing serious disruption with cancellations and severe delays common. Travellers should monitor flight information with travel agents and airports and be prepared for delays.
Update July 17,2007
There is a now a travel agency in Abadiania! World Tur Travel
It is located 1/2 block past Pousada Martin on the main street going towards
the highway or 1/2 block before Pousada Martin headed towards the Casa on the
same side of the street as the Pousada Martin. It is a bright orange building
with a sliding glass patio door, no signage yet, but its on the way.
Translations are free, and money can be exchanged with no fee at the current daily rate!
Karlla speaks English and is happy to make all travel arrangements for you including rescheduling at no charge. This is a much needed service in Abadiania, eliminating the need to go to Annapolis to reschedule your departure date.
You can even check with her from your home to see if there are any special airfares that beat the prices that you have been quoted.

Sounds like a great way to go for the first timer.
Update April 10, 2007
We have recently returned from the Casa. The energy is as powerful or even more powerful than ever. The countryside was beautifully green like it always is this time of the year and we had daily thundershowers to keep the air fresh.
There have not been many changes at the Casa or in Abadiania in the last year. The most important is the herb processing facility at the Casa which has been completed and licensed by the government. Now all the herbs are processed on the Casa grounds and I feel this must increase the spiritual energy for all those taking herbs.
Pousada prices seem to have stabilized, after several years of steady increases. Unfortunately, people paying with US dollars are seeing price increases through the increased value of the Real vs Dollar.
Our flight down from Miami was through Manaus and then on to Brasilia, thankfully bypassing Sao Paulo. The only glitch was the flight arrived in Brasilia at 7:15 am and the money exchange does not open until 11:00 am. But, we had R150 with us from previous trips and were able to get by without exchanging any more money. The taxi accepted dollars (be sure to confirm the price in dollars before getting in the taxi). The pousada accepted dollars as well as the Casa bookstore and the herb dispensary.
IMPORTANT: The Entity has requested that all persons traveling to Abadiania and the Casa de Dom Inacio to request a healing, DO NOT STOP any medication or medical treatment that you are currently taking or receiving. Also, the Entity requests that all persons continue their medications and treatments after returning home until advised by their medical practitioner to do otherwise.
IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT that you attend the English language orientation at the Casa on Tuesday at 7pm, and it is also important that you read all the information of this site several times.
We would love to hear from anyone who has recently been to the Casa. New
pousadas, pousada rates, or restaurants, and prices of anything that you may
have purchased are always of interest to others. We would also appreciate
any links to this site. Links help us move closer to the top of the search
engine rankings making it easier for others to find us.

Thank you.
On our first trip to the Casa
On the last day of our first trip to the Casa, when we returned from the Sacred Waterfall, Alex age 11, was there to present us with his rendition of the Sacred Waterfall. It is now on the wall above my computer as I write this.
Alexander is the son of Edwin and Tatiana. Tatiana is one of the mediums at the Casa.
We first read a magazine article about the Casa de Dom Inacio on the first of July of 2002. Within a week we had an airline reservation. Our first trip was done on our own, with minimal information. We made our 7th trip in October of 2005. When you are called to go, as we were, everything will happen as it is supposed to.
Love and light,
Suzanne & Alan
