Brazil Beaches, Rainforest and Rio

Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth-largest country in the world. It is bordered by nine other countries in South America, which include Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana and French Guiana.

Brazil is known for being home to stunning beaches, the Amazon rainforest, and its diverse cities brimming with culture and history. Brazil is a huge country with so much to offer travellers looking to get a taste of the Brazilian highlights.

Of course, no trip to Brazil can be complete without a visit to the vibrant former capital of Rio de Janeiro. This beach city is famed for its Ipanema and Copacabana beaches and the incredible Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mount Corcovado.

Another popular attraction is Sugarloaf Mountain, which can be reached via cable car. Rio is also known for its popular carnival. The biggest carnival in the world delights visitors every year with its colourful display of music, dancing and vibrant costumes.

Culture Dive In Salvador

Iguazú Falls is one of the most popular things to see in Brazil. This immense waterfall, which is made up of many smaller waterfalls, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and stretches across into the neighbouring country Argentina. The incredible natural beauty is spectacular to see, and you can discover both sides of the falls on a full-day tour which combines both countries.

Visit the city of Salvador for a culture-rich city that has strong African influences, which can be seen in the music, art and food. Explore the cobbled streets and beautiful plazas rich with baroque buildings and colonial architecture.

Brazil Coastlines, Amazon and Wildlife

Brazil has stunning beaches, and a dramatic coastline, and the best place to head for some of the country’s most beautiful shores is Florianopolis. Here, you will find Lagoa da Conceição, a popular beach destination with plenty of amenities, and Barra de Lagoa, closer to more secluded undiscovered spots.

Many travellers come to Brazil to explore the wonders of the Amazon rainforest, and the best place to do this is in the city of Manaus. Sitting on the Rio Negro River, you can head into the rainforest on a river cruise and enjoy a jungle trek. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive jaguar alongside a host of fantastic wildlife in the world’s lungs.
