We highly recommend you reserve a hotel room as soon as possible, because of the Formula 1 Race (See Below).
November 23-24 (the day after iDate Brazil) is the Formula One Grande Prêmio Race. We were surprised to find out that most dating CEOs are actually huge F1 fans! More about the F1 race in São Paulo can be read HERE 
IMPORTANT: VISA USA, Canadian or Australian citizens: A visa is required to enter Brazil.
Citizens from most Western European countries do not require a visa (including U.K. and Russia). A list of all countries that require a visa to Brazil is HERE.
This is not something to be done at the last minute.The process takes about 10 business days and costs about USD ~$160.
To get a visa, fill out the Brazilian Government Online Visa Application Form and, with a copy of the letter, apply in person or by mail. Also provide a set of documents (passport, photo, money order and a cover letter with dates and purpose of your trip). Most get a visa that expires in 10 years, so it's worth doing anyway.
