In another space visited by the report, entry to the playpen costs R$190 per person or R$150 per head if you are a group of three or more people — in this “VIP area”, the amount charged entitles you to a free caipirinha.
The “playpens” were assembled from trash cans, connected to each other with improvised ribbons.
