filter_dramaUnderstandFor a Brazilian capital this size (about 300 000), Boa Vista is remarkably quiet. Judging by the number of evangelical churces, Jesus has his equatoria stronghold here. Despite being more than 100 years old, the city has the aspects of a planned capital, with wide modern streets and traffic circles. Historical references are difficult to find.

filter_dramaCopeFor those interested in withdrawing USD before crossing to Venezuela:
There are no ATMs with USD currency also the exchange rate Reals to USD in cambios is very weak.
The best option is to withdraw Reals in Boa Vista and change them to Bolívares at the border as the exchange rate is better (as 100 Bolívares is the highest note in venezuela expect to get at least 600 notes for 100 usd).
Be aware of daily withdrawal limit for foreign VISA cards in brazilian ATMS. -
