Is a Brazilian tourist visa tied to specific entry and exit ports and dates?
Brazil requires that US Citizens have flight reservations prior to applying for a tourist visa. Per the suggestions in this question, I have found what I believe to be the most reasonable round-trip, fully-refundable flight into Brazil, from Miami (MIA) to Manaus (MAO).
If I were to purchase this ticket, get my visa, then cancel the ticket in favor of a discounted ticket from, say, Lima to Sao Paulo, would this create any issues with my visa, as my application would have said I was flying to and from different cities?
Would it also be a problem if I ended up entering Brazil a day or two later (if post-visa application prices have changed to make this financially advantageous).
My international travel is limited, but I would expect the visa simply to be valid from X date to Y date, and the ports of entry and exit would be immaterial. But I don't want to make a >US$1000 gamble on this assumption.

Lately, Brazilian visas are taking more time than expected. So, even with the correct ticket, you may need to change your plans. For US citizen, they will provide a 10 year multiple-entry visa (similar to the visa US provides to Brazilian). So, as soon as you get your visa, you can get any flight you want to arrive in Brazil and leave from any airport you need.
