Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

A wealth of amazing travel experiences await you whether you are looking to party, want to explore the Brazilian´s culture, want to chill out on a beautiful beach or lose yourself in the beauty of its breath-taking scenery. Brazil will capture your heart.

Carnival 2014 Rio de Janeiro. Sambodromo

The country´s northern region is dominated by tropical rainforest; the Amazon, home to a large variety of wildlife, exotic species of plants and the River Amazon, the world´s largest river in terms of water volume. 1,400 km inland on the banks of the Amazon, in the middle of the Amazonian rain forest is the city of Manaus, accessible only by boat or plane. But this huge “jungle” city of almost 2 million inhabitants is certainly worth a visit. Rubber made it rich in the late 1800´s and wealthy Europeans settled bringing with them European art, architecture and culture, giving Manaus its nickname of “The Paris of the East”.

If it´s parties and buzzing beach life you´re looking for, Salvador on the coast is the place to head for on your trip to Brazil. This beautiful city with its Upper and Lower town and elegant, Portuguese architecture, is the backdrop to the world´s largest carnival when the streets fill with happy revellers,”dance trucks”, lights and music. It´s one big street party – and everybody´s welcome! Beach-lovers should head to Porto da Barra – voted one of the best beaches in the world.

What to eat in Brazil

Sample exciting national dishes such as Arroz com pequi, a savoury rice dish flavoured with the colourful, yellow pequi fruit, or Salgadinhos, small snacks with a savoury filling, in Brazil’s capital, Brasilia, which was designed by the Brazilian architect and town planner, Lucio Costa.

Visit Sao Paolo and Rio de Janeiro

Make sure to save time for Sao Paulo or Rio de Janeiro in the southern, flatter region of the country if you can. Prepare to be impressed by the art deco Redento Statue of Christ the Redeemer, 30 m. high with an arm span of 28 m, and which towers, with outstretched arms, at the peak of Mt. Corcovado, 700 metres above the city of Rio De Janeiro, a symbol of Christianity that is recognized throughout the world.

Travel Inspiration for Brazil

Waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of Argentina anf Brazili. Huge streams of water spray, numerous waterfalls, water mist. The clouds in the blue sky, tropical greenery around.

The Iguazu waterfalls in Argentina and Brazil

Iguazu Falls,  275 waterfalls over a full 3 km stretch. The waterfalls are hard to imagine: 275 waterfalls (drops) that accumulate over a 3 km stretch and fall from a height of 82 meters, which corresponds to a 24 story high building. Water beats hard from that height. Worth seeing if you are traveling in Argentina? I would say so
