Travel video about destination Brazil.
Brazil is a country of both the superlative and also amazing contrast, with dynamic metropolises, cultural centres and untouched nature. It is the largest country on the South American Continent.We begin our journey in Rio De Janeiro, the secret capital of Brazil, a veritable firework display of unashamed joie de vivre, football, samba and religion. The focal point of today’s Rio is the monumental glass cone of the Catedral Metropolitana that measures eighty metres high and looks like a Mexican pyramid. The Rua Do Ouvidor, with its elegant old buildings and splendid shops, is a reminder of the city’s historical and commercial importance. Portuguese settlers founded the city and sugar cane and gold made Rio’s colonial rulers extremely rich. In former times the coastal towns were protected by fortresses and canons. Paraty was one of those romantic locations, south of Rio on the Costa Verde, a gem dating back to Brazil’s colonial times. Around five hundred kilometres north of Rio and deep within the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, is a most remarkable place. Ouro Preto was discovered at the end of the seventeenth century by Portuguese gold prospectors who discovered ‘black gold’ that changed colour due to its iron content. São Paulo is one of the mega cities of the twenty first century and with a population of twenty million it is the economic heart of Brazil. The railway helped to transport cotton and later coffee, and its large station, with British-designed clock tower, became an important symbol. Brazil is synonymous with sunshine, samba and exotic nature, a dream destination full of both adventure and constant fun!

City Description:
Paraty is a small town backed by mountains on Brazil's Costa Verde, between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Its Portuguese colonial center has cobbled streets and 17th- and 18th-century buildings dating to its time as a port, during the Brazilian Gold Rush. Among its architectural landmarks is the waterfront Capela de Santa Rita, a whitewashed church built in 1722.From the nearby pier, boat excursions head into Paraty’s bay for snorkeling, diving and island exploration. Lining the coast and on some of the islands are dozens of beaches popular for swimming, sunbathing and surfing. Hikes in the mountainous Serra da Bocaina National Park take in rainforest, waterfalls and the Caminho do Ouro, the historic gold trail. Back in town, neoclassical Nossa Senhora dos Remédios Church overlooks a leafy square. In the adjoining Pontal neighborhood, the Forte Defensor Perpétuo, a hilltop citadel dating to the 1700s, features old cannons and panoramic views.
Weather and Events:
Beach season hits its peak Dec–Feb, at the height of the hot, rainy summer. Winter (May–Aug) is a little more cool and dry. Carnaval (dates vary, Feb/Mar) and the Catholic feast of Corpus Christi (dates vary, May/Jun) are both major events. FLIP (Jul) is one of South America's leading international literary festivals, with lively, child-focused Flipinha running alongside it.

Coastal Paradise: Ilha Grande + Paraty - In A Brazil Minute (Week 148)
- - Ahhh, Costa Verde - the green coast mostly in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Not sure if I have the words to describe how special my time and experience were on the island Ilha Grande and how much I enjoyed my time in the bay of Paraty.
I hope these images will do some justice. Although I already know that I will have to publish longer videos of each place to show you more of what I saw.
But it's almost impossible to convey how it felt to be hiking for hours all alone on challenging steep and slippery trails through the rainforest of Ilha Grande, to take in the views from up high of this green paradise and then to finally reach the beach where Jessica, one of my best friends, was waiting (having taken the boat) and then standing in the ocean, with the waves crashing against my legs, the sound of the surf, the smell of the water, the taste of salty water and the vision of the majestic green hills dipped in rainforest clouds and the vast almost empty beach spread below. The feeling of really being in the moment, the feeling of happiness, the feeling of having just taken up the challenge and earned this moment of joy.
During my Costa Verde trip, Paraty, about 4 hours from Rio, offered a lovely colonial village, a boat tour to visit secluded beaches and to really swim in the warm Atlantic Ocean and last, but not least, long evenings on the little beach in front of our pousada drinking beer from the can and naming all the stray dogs.
Culture, relaxation, stunning nature, wonderful people... If you ever go to Brazil, definitely include some time in Costa Verde!

Our visit Rio De Janeiro travel guide documentary, before the Olympics of 2016, covers some of the top attractions including a food guide (best restaurants and street food), top museums and Rio at night. We also cover off-the-beaten-path activities you won't find in a typical Rio De Janeiro tourism brochure or Rio De Janeiro, Brasil city tour.
25 Things to do in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Travel Guide and Top Attractions Transcript:
First up, we started with the city’s most iconic sight: Christ Redeemer. We boarded the train as soon as the station opened and made our way to the top of Corcovado Mountain. Sometimes the statue can be shielded by fog, but we lucked out with beautiful blue skies and panoramic views of the city as far as the eye could see.
For a bit of colour, we headed over to the Selaron Steps, which is a tiled staircase created by Chilean artist, Jorge Selarón. Initially Selaron would scavenge construction sites looking for tiles, but in later years as his work gained notoriety, travellers began donating tiles.
Since we chose to stay in the neighbourhood of Ipanema, we ended up spending quite a bit of time at Ipanema Beach. We noticed that this beach was really popular for beach football, volleyball, and surfing. And of course, what makes this beach so iconic are its two mountains, known as Dois Irmãos. If you come here on a clear day, you can catch a killer sunset.
No visit to Rio de Janeiro would be complete without heading up Sugarloaf Mountain, so when the skies finally cleared that’s exactly what we did. We paid for our tickets and boarded the cable car for a somewhat unnerving ride up. If you’re scared of heights, this probably isn’t the attraction for you, however, if you manage to make it to the top you get some really cool panoramic views of Rio.
Copacabana Beach is the most famed beach in all of Rio de Janeiro and if you were to visit on a weekend during the summer months you’d find that the place is packed beyond belief. We happened to be here in winter so things were a lot more relaxed, but that didn’t stop visitors from braving the waters.
We did a favela tour to Babilônia and Chapéu Mangueira. On our tour we saw lots of street art, learned about life inside a favela.
And that is a wrap! We hope this video will give you guys some ideas of things to do in Rio de Janeiro on your visit, and for those travellers who have already been there, feel free to add your suggestion of cool activities and attractions in the comments below.
This is part of our Travel in Brazil video series showcasing Brazilian food, Brazilian culture and Brazilian cuisine.

Top 10 Countries to Visit in 2016 | LONELY PLANET Best In Travel Summary
Hey Guys!
I know there are so many travel recommendations online, it’s often hard to tell which ones are reliable and up to date!
But, when LONELY PLANET, undoubtedly the best travel guide in the world, releases their yearly travel recommendations ‘Best In Travel 2016’, you can start booking your holidays without looking any further.
Best in Travel 2016 includes top 10 countries, top 10 cities and top 10 regions, with number one as the most ‘travelable’ place for the coming year.
For 2016, the number one place was honored to Botswana (Country, South Africa), Kotor (City, Montenegro) and Transylvania (Region, Romania).
Let me tell you the best things about this year's Best Countries as well as what my favorites are from the top ten list. Tomorrow, I will share with you the Best Cities and Thursday - Best Regions! Stay Tuned!
BEST COUNTRY TO TRAVEL IN 2016:
LONELY PLANET: Botswana
If you are anything like me, you are dying to discover Africa but have no idea which one of the countries to go to. You want to do a safari, see what locals really live like and see a National Park without getting mugged? Well, looks like Botswana could be our best bet. It does not only have a safe and stable economy, it is also one giant nature reserve with movie-like safaris and breath-taking river deltas (world famous the Okavango Delta).
Best time to go: May to August
Price: Not too bad, with a lot of airlines offering a return ticket for under $1500 from LAX.
AGGIE IN HER SHOES: Palau
I lived in 3 out of top 10 countries and so I feel like a bad mother choosing a favorite out of her kids. Probably that is why my vote goes to Palau, a country consisting of 250 islands just North of Papa New Guinea. The more I learn of Palau, the more I become intrigued. Even tough much further than Bora Bora, the flights are considerably less expensive (from $1400 return from LAX as opposed to $2200 to the French Polynesian getaway) and the convenience of the US dollar as the national currency and English as the official language is yet another plus (it is a presidential republic in free association with the US). It seems like Hawaii might have some serious competition, especially among savvy divers and snorkelers looking for a perfect dive in a place their friends have never even heard of! #theUltimateDestinationForTravelSnobs
Here’s a full list of the Lonely Planet’s BEST IN TRAVEL 2016 as seen on their website.

Rio de Janeiro tours
Boat tours
Saveiros Tour operates a cultural boat tour around Guanabara Bay, taking in major sights including Sugar Loaf Mountain, Niterói's Contemporary Art Museum, the Rio-Niteroi bridge and Ilha Fiscal. The two-hour trip in a traditional schooner departs from the Gloria Marina daily at 0930. Tickets can be bought at the marina.
Other boat companies and ferries operate from the docks by Praca XV, offering daily trips to Niterói, Ilha Paquetá and other islands in the bay; or day cruises further afield, along the Costa Verde to Angra dos Reis, Ilha Grande and Paraty. Contact the Espaço Cultural da Marinha for details.
Helicopter tours
For a bird's eye view of Rio, Helisight operates sightseeing flights of various lengths and routes. A 15-minute flight covers the city centre, Sambódromo, Maracanã stadium, Corcovado and the statue of Christ, Pão de Açúcar and Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Departures are from one of three helipads, located at Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, Dona Marta Belvedere (access route to Corcovado) and Sugar Loaf, open daily from 0900 to 1800.
Even the shortest, seven minutes long helicopter rides do not come cheap but those wanting the ultimate whistle-stop tour may feel they're worth a special splurge.
Jeep tours
Several companies offer jeep tours of Rio's natural wonders. Rio by Jeep offers hiking tours of Tijuca National Park as well as adventure sports, including whitewater rafting, scuba diving, horseback riding and mountain rappeling. Jeep Tour offers tours to and around Búzios, the sunsoaked beach resort east of Rio, with stops at various sites en route. Both companies can arrange hotel pick-ups.
Walking tours
Several specialist operators offer tailored guided city walks, usually charged by the hour. Cultural Rio runs cultural sightseeing tours of Rio's historic landmarks, led by a multilingual history of art professor. The 'Downtown Rio Tour' crosses the historic centre, from Cinelândia, the arts district, to São Bento, the richest baroque church in Rio.
Rio Hiking provides English-language guided walks in Tijuca forest and up Rio's mountains. The price includes an ascent of Tijuca, Rio's highest peak, pick-up and lunch; trips are either five or eight hours, a challenging but hugely rewarding experience, providing the best views over the whole city and beyond.
Excursions from Rio de Janeiro
Buzios
Only a couple of hours drive from Rio, eastwards along the Costa do Sol, Búzios is the ideal destination for a weekend of sun, sea and shopping. Búzios sits on a rocky peninsula and offers over 17 beaches, from hidden coves to wide oceanic expanses of white sand.Once a simple fishing village, a brief visit by Brigitte Bardot in the early 1960s transformed Búzios into one of Brazil's most fashionable beach resorts. Today its pristine bays are sprinkled with boutiques, fine restaurants, trendy nightclubs and chic designer hotels; a virtual Saint Tropez of the tropics.
Niterói
This medium-sized city across the bay from Rio has two major attractions: firstly, the awesome and less commonly seen views it offers of Rio. Niterói's second most famous draw is MAC, the Museu de Arte Contemporãnea (Museum of Contemporary Art), a stunning modern building, designed by leading Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer.
The museum houses artworks by leading artists from the mid-20th century, but to many visitors the most impressive sight is the curvaceous white building itself. Suspended on a narrow column over a pond, overlooking the bay, it seems to defy gravity and conveys an uplifting sense of grace. In addition,
Niterói has a hilltop park, Parque da Cidade, which offers yet more stunning views; as well as several historic forts, and some excellent-value restaurants.
Most visitors reach Niterói by road, across the huge 13km-long (8 miles) Rio-Niterói bridge; alternatively there are ferries from Rio's quays near Praça XV de Novembro, with many daily departures.

City Description:
Maceió is the capital city of the state of Alagoas, on the east coast of Brazil. Its historic center is home to pastel-colored colonial houses, a 19th-century cathedral and the Théo Brandão Museum of Anthropology and Folklore, located in a renovated seafront mansion. Protected by an offshore reef, the coast is lined with white-sand beaches. Ponta Verde beach has a palm-lined promenade, beach kiosks and water sports.Local jangada fishing boats leave hotel-lined Pajuçara beach on snorkeling trips to natural pools on the reef. To the south, Praia do Francês beach has surfable waves. Beyond Jatiúca beach, the 'Coral Coast' continues north for many kilometers. The warehouses in the renovated port district of Jaraguá are renowned for their nightlife. The Mercado do Artesanato market focuses on regional craftwork. On the city's landward side, the Mundaú Lagoon has calm water, shrimp fishing communities and rustic waterfront bars.
Weather and Events:
Maceió is tropical, with warm to hot weather year-round and a rainy season Mar–Jul. Most people choose to visit during the hot, dry summer (Dec–Mar), with crowds peaking in Dec and around Carnaval (Feb/Mar), when there are colorful parades and street parties. Other events in the city are the Maceió Music Festival (Mar), showcasing big-name Brazilian acts, and the Festas Juninas (Jun), a major festival that marks the beginning of winter with costume parties and dancing.
