Landed here on an overnight bus from Porto Alegre, in the rain with no local cash and soon discovered that no ATM in town would accept my debit cards. After waiting about 4 hours for a bank to open, I got some cash, then found out that my debit card information had been stolen, probably from an online transaction that was hacked the previous week. Had to cancel that card, so now I’m down to just one.
The lower section of this town is part of an area of Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay affected by the worst floods in 50 years. In the dry season!
