Question
Hi..This is Naren from Bangalore,India. From my company,they are sending me on a business meeting to Brazil for four weeks next month.

I will be going to contagem city.I like to know what will cost to stay in a single room for 1 month plus other expenses like transport,food.

Answer
Prices may go from R$ 100,00 to R$ 500,00 reais depends on the quality of the hotel you want.
Contagem is a big city so you will not have problems in finding one. I cannot recommend because I have never been there.
In S. Paulo for example, to stay 1 month I think you would not expend less than R$ 5.000,00 reais with apartment, food, transport etc. But S. Paulo and Rio are the most expensive cities in Brazil.
Buses are not very good in Brazil so people use a lot taxis which are not so cheap.
Hope to have helped a little.
