Read our step-by-step compliance guide covering every document, timing window, and government contact for Brazil.
Brazil requires the CVI to be issued by the official veterinary authority of the export country, not just any vet. No titre test required. Brasília International Airport (BSB) customs (MAPA/VIGIAGRO inspection post) handles all pet arrivals. We coordinate advance permit filing and airport reception.

Getting Around
Navigating Brasília with your pet.
One of the biggest anxieties of pet travel is local transit. Here's everything you need to know before you land.
Public Transit
Metro DF accepts pets in carriers on both lines. Useful for North-South Wing connectivity, but Brasília's scale makes a car essential for most destinations.
Private Cars
Brasília was designed around the car. We coordinate vetted private transfers connecting Asa Norte, Asa Sul, the lake district, and the national park trailheads.
On Foot
Asa Norte and Asa Sul superquadras are walkable green islands within the urban grid. We provide pedestrian-friendly routing between the architectural landmarks.

Climate-controlled, GPS-tracked fleet. Seamless door-to-door service between cities or to your final destination.
