10 Things NOT To Do in Brazil
Get more Tips here! destinationtips.com
Brazil is a beautiful country with attractive people, breathtaking sites, vibrant nightlife and of course the 2016 Olympics!
The Zika virus is mainly transferred by mosquitoes and the highest probability of danger is posed to pregnant women, who should consider avoiding the area entirely. For everyone else, practice safe sex, wear lots of mosquito repellent, and wear long sleeves and pants.
Don't Speak Spanish
Many visitors travel to Brazil expecting to hear Spanish, but unlike its South American neighbors, Brazil’s native language is Portuguese! Don’t be that ignorant tourist attempting to converse with the locals in broken Spanish.
Don't Flash the Cash
Although Brazil is a relatively safe country, there are still many poor areas. Don’t wear your most expensive watch or wave around your new camera, because it will be pocketed.
Don't Make the OK Sign!
It is a highly offensive rude gesture in Brazil. However, thumbs up does mean something similar to okay, literally “beleza” or “beauty,” and is frequently used.
Don't drink alone
It is customary practice in Brazil to share your “estupidamente gelada” or 'stupidly cold beer' with others. Most bars only sell beer in 700 ml bottles and sometimes even strangers will show up with their own glasses.
Don't Lose Your Consumption Card
Many bars and nightclubs will operate using a consumption card, for each customer to record food and drink orders. Patrons are expected to settle their bill before leaving, and not doing so results in large fines.
Don't be Impatient
Things move at their own pace in Brazil. Long lines are common for everything from ATMs to grocery stores, so be prepared to wait patiently.
Don't Forget the Amazon
Don’t be afraid to venture out into the more remote areas. Take a trip to the Amazon Rainforest, Iguaçu Falls, smaller towns like Olinda and Ouro Preto or travel to the Fernando de Noronha archipelago to experience some of Brazil’s best kept secrets.
Brazil is still a developing country, and you will come across extreme poverty, favelas, drug-torn cities and rude people. Don’t ever visit the favelas alone as they are run by drug lords and can be extremely dangerous.
Don't Try to Enter Without a Visa!
There are only a few visa exempt countries (mainly South American and Caribbean nations), the U.S. is not one of them. Brazil requires a visa for visitors traveling from Canada, and most European, Asian and African countries too. However, the process is very straightforward.
Do you think Brazil has benefited economically by hosting the Olympics?
Or has the Zika Virus held back too many tourists?

Like all other cities in the Northeast, Recife is developing its tourist sector. The beach of Porto de Galinhas, 60 kilometers (37 miles) south of the city, has been repeatedly awarded the title of best beach in Brazil and has drawn many tourists. Recifes infrastructure is among the most developed in Brazil for travellers and business people, though there is wide room for improvement.

Recife is served by the Gilberto Freyre/Guararapes International Airport which connects Recife to several Brazilian destinations as well as major international cities in Europe, the United States and South America. Also, together with Natal these are the only Brazilian cities with direct flights to the paradise islands of Fernando de Noronha, World Heritage Site since 2001. ( source Wikipedia )

Pontos Turísticos
O Piauí é uma das 27 unidades federativas do Brasil. Ele se localiza no noroeste da Região Nordeste. O Piauí se limita com cinco estados: Ceará e Pernambuco a leste, Bahia a sul e sudeste, Tocantins a sudoeste e Maranhão a oeste. Delimitado pelo Oceano Atlântico ao norte, o Piauí tem o menor litoral do Brasil, com 66 km. Sua área é de 251 577,738 km², sendo pouco maior que o Reino Unido, e tem uma população de 3.194.718 habitantes.
A capital e cidade mais populosa do estado é Teresina. O Piauí está dividido em 4 mesorregiões, 15 microrregiões e 224 municípios. Outros municípios com população superior a cinquenta mil habitantes são: Parnaíba, Picos, Piripiri e Floriano. O estado tem um relevo moderado. Parnaíba, Poti, Canindé, Piauí e São Nicolau são os rios mais importantes e todos eles pertencem à bacia do rio Parnaíba. O Piauí possui clima tropical e semiárido.
As principais atividades econômicas do estado são a indústria (química, têxtil, de bebidas), a agricultura (algodão, arroz, cana-de-açúcar, mandioca) e a pecuária. A região do Piauí começou a ser povoada pelos colonizadores europeus no século XVII, desde o interior, na época em que os vaqueiros, que vieram principalmente da Bahia, têm chegado à procura de pastos. Em 1718, o território, até então pertencente à Bahia, passou a fazer parte do Maranhão. Em 1811, o príncipe Dom João, cinco anos antes de ser coroado rei de Portugal, elevou o Piauí à categoria de capitania independente.
Depois que o Brasil tornou-se independente, em 1822, as tropas com fidelidade a Portugal ocuparam a cidade de Parnaíba; as adesões foram recebidas pelo grupo, mas os brasileiros acabaram por derrotar os portugueses em 1823. Certos anos após a batalha, o Piauí foi atingido por movimentos revoltosos como a Confederação do Equador e a Balaiada. Em 1852, o governo provincial transferiu a capital de Oeiras para Teresina, desde então o estado começou a crescer economicamente. Desde a Proclamação da República no Brasil, o terreno político tornou-se tranquilo, mas foi muito difícil que o Piauí se desenvolvesse social e economicamente.

Itacare Bahia Brazil
Itacaré is a town in the cocoa zone of the state of Bahia in Brazil, south of Salvador. It is located 70 km north of Ilhéus where the Rio de Contas, which comes from the Chapada Diamantina, meets the Atlantic Ocean. Itacaré has about 27,000 residents. Out of these, approximately 50% live in the rural interior. A mixture of races - Amerindian, black and white - can be seen in the features of the natives, called nação grapiúna, who Jorge Amado affectionately referred to as the captivating people of this land. was founded as a Portuguese colonial settlement, originally called São Jorge dos Ilhéus, in 1532. The town was a notorious hangout for Dutch and Portuguese pirates during the early colonial period and later became a hub for the cocoa planting and a port for whalers. It was officially given city status in 1881.
After a massive blight of Vassoura de Bruxa (Witch's broom) devastated the region's cocoa crops in the 1980s, Itacaré has depended mostly upon tourism. It is a popular destination for surfers, hikers and ecotourists. The town has a series of beautiful small cove type beaches and other picturesque beaches further along the coast. Itacaré is on the edge of a national park, one of the last large expanses of Atlantic rain forest left in Brazil.
The change from sleepy agrarian town to tourist hotspot has not been an easy one, however. Locals recently won a hard-fought campaign to stop land owners who wanted to charge for access to the beaches.
Access to one of the most pristine beaches, Prainha, has been blocked by a hotel/condominium development called Sao Jose Eco Resort. Both Prainha and Sao Jose beaches are now accessible by foot, free of charge.
Despite development in the area, it remains a hub of Bahian culture. Many tourists visit Itacaré to take part in the local Capoeira circles and eat traditional Brazilian food. The town is flooded with revelers during New Year's and Carnival.
Itacaré has been mentioned as one of the worlds top 10 best small towns
