The hotel where I stayed (Bahiamar) have cars that you can rent privately. For group sightseeing, they mostly use/hire MB branded sprinters/freightliners - very common in Salvador-Bahia.

Welcome back Drezel....:-)

Yup! I agree about those MBs belonging only to the rich. So...very uncommon. Also, probably bad to have anyway. I can imagine unless the person also has good security for their car and house and whatnot...that their Benz would not stay in a good state.

And it does seem like Salvador is similar to where I was in Brazil! I was around the Volta Redonda and Bara Mansa area.

And thanks! Good to be back.

They use sugarcane

Corn ethanol is a joke.
