Lindsay Lohan is extending her Brazilian vacation.

The troubled 26-year-old star, who's been in South America since Thursday for a promotional gig with John John Denim, isn't returning home to the U.S. just yet, a source confirms to E! News.

We're told that Lohan made her way to the São Paulo airport tonight only to decline to get on the plane back to New York City.

"She's staying on her own dime," a source says of LiLo, who tried to get someone else to foot the bill for her extended stay in Brazil.

Lindsay has since left the airport with her friend Patty and checked into the Emiliano Hotel. Her manager left the country without her.

"She is staying against everyone's advice," a source says.

LiLo was scheduled to leave Brazil today for New York before heading back to L.A. for this month's Coachella music festival. But as we told you exclusively earlier today, the Liz & Dick star wanted to stay longer to hang out and have "fun."

Lohan has had a whirlwind few days partying (and working) in São Paulo and Florianópolis. Her festivities have included hiding under tables, deejaying at John John's bash at the Café de lá Musique nightclub and dodging pesky photographers.

More details to come.
