Peteca Travel Insurance

What is peteca?

Peteca is a traditional Brazilian sport where players use their hands to strike a shuttlecock-like object into the air, aiming to keep it in play over a court - often with a net. It blends elements of volleyball and badminton but requires no racket, focusing on hand-eye coordination, agility, and rhythm. It's typically played in open spaces or on marked courts, and can be both recreational and competitive.

Do I need travel insurance to play peteca?
