Uruguaiana Market, also known as Saara, is a bustling open-air market in Rio de Janeiro where you can find anything and everything at affordable prices. This is not an official shopping mall, it is more of a large area with street vendors selling all sorts of items.

We go here to buy costumes for Carnival and all sorts of props and items. But be careful, this area is full of pickpockets and scammers. Don't expect to find any authentic brands here, this is the place for fakes and resellers of all kinds of items you can think of.
