No official ranked list of Brazilian outbound trips by country (Policia Federal / Ministerio do Turismo) was readable. This is the best-sourced ranking: countries most sold by Braztoa tour operators in 2024, so it leans towards package travel.

## What do Brazil networks charge to roam?

Your home network charges for roaming by the day or by the pack. Prices read on 7 November 2026.

Vivo's daily Vivo Travel pass costs R$39.99 a day on postpaid lines for the Americas and Europe. It starts on its own when you use data, voice or SMS abroad. A Pre or Controle USA pack costs R$35 for 5 GB, 200 minutes and unlimited SMS, used within 30 days.

Claro's daily internet pack costs R$39.90 for 2 GB a day in the Americas, including the USA, and in Europe. Its World daily pack is R$59.90 for 1 GB a day. Its 10 GB pack costs R$94.90, valid for 30 days.

If you don't want the Vivo pass to start, switch roaming off on a non-Vivo network. Claro Passaporte customers use their plan's allowance abroad, and that internet comes out of the plan.

Where roaming costs extra, a travel eSIM from eSIMology gives you data for one price, and your [home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) stays on for calls and texts. For heavier use, eSIMology's daily allowances and bigger fixed plans may suit better, as these day passes have set allowances.
