BrazilTour

Because all those who come to Brazil become its fans.

Brazil is a place that has a little bit of everything. Its unique characteristics ensure international fame, attracting thousands of tourists from every part of the world, all year long. The diversity of the culture and the scenery are the country’s strong points. But you will only learn of its distinctive feature when you arrive here: the Brazilian people.

This mix of races and colours makes this a happy and fun-loving people, yet strong, fighting and full of pride for their land. And its hospitable spirit is unequalled anywhere else in the world. All of these qualities blended together make Brazil the ideal destination for those who wish to be well-received and treated as if at home.

One of the Brazilian destinations most appreciated by visitors is Rio de Janeiro – the Enchanting City, with its stunningly beautiful scenery and home of the greatest popular party in the world: carnival. It is a grandiose commemoration, which gathers thousands of party-goers annually to have fun and watch the Samba School parades, teeming with floats, resplendent with colour and dance.

Carnival is also among the main attractions of other Brazilian cities: like Rio, São Paulo also has fun-filled parades with Samba Schools; in Pernambuco, the carnivals of Olinda and Recife are the highlights, as the people take to the streets in their costumes and follow the blocos and maracatus with their bands, carrying the famous giant dolls; in Salvador, the capital of Bahia, the entertainment is left to mobile stages with electric bands which are followed through the streets, by millions of people to the sound of axe music, a typical rhythm from Bahia, until daybreak.

After the intense dancing and partying, there is nothing better than enjoying the country’s beautiful beaches, which stretch for over seven thousand kilometres of coastline. No one fails to be enchanted by the natural beauty of these veritable paradises of white sand and turquoise waters. Among the most visited, there are the famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, on the Rio de Janeiro coast; Joaquina, in the south of the country, famous for its national and international surfing championships; the Praia do Forte, on the northern coast of Bahia, home of the Tamar Project, for preserving sea turtles; and the marvellous beaches of the Fernando de Noronha archipelago.

The heart of Brazil also reserves natural treasures that enchant and surprise even the most experienced travellers. Among these rarities, is Foz do Iguaçu, a city located along the triple border of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Its greatest attraction is the series of 275 waterfalls, a little more than 60 meters high, known as Iguaçu Falls – one of the most impressive sceneries anywhere.

And one cannot forget one of the world icons for ecology and biodiversity: the Amazon. Located in the north of the country, it covers an area of approximately 5.5 million square kilometres. It is considered the largest equatorial forest on the planet, occupying 61% of the national territory and extrapolating Brazilian borders. It is estimated that the regions’ forests concentrate 60% of all of the planet’s life forms – more than half of which are still unknown to science. There are lots of activities for the tourist who ventures there. From boat trips over the region’s rivers to several types of jungle expeditions, with guided hikes and trails and the observation of the stunningly rich flora and fauna of the region. And anyone who is not so adventurous can just relax and appreciate the Amazon scenery – a delight to the eyes and so resting for the soul.

This is how our country is, a unique mixture of happiness, beauty, colours, hospitality and lots of pleasure. Come and get to know Brazil, too. Those who come, become fans.
