Brazil travel guide
===============
Amazon Rainforest - The Amazon River Basin holds more than half of the world's remaining rainforest, and over 60% of that lies within the North of Brazil — approximately one billion acres with incredible biodiversity. The region is home to about 2.5 million insect species, over 40,000 plants species, 2200 fish species, and more than 2,000 types of birds and mammals. One in five of all the bird species in the world live in the rainforests of the Amazon, and one in five of the fish species live in Amazonian rivers and streams.
Atlantic Forest (Mata Atlântica) - A region of tropical and subtropical forest which extends along the Atlantic coast of Brazil from Rio Grande do Norte state in the Northeast to Rio Grande do Sul state in the South. The Atlantic Forest has a wide variety of vegetation, including the many tree species such as the iconic araucaria tree in the south or the mangroves of the northeast, dozens of types of bromeliads and orchids, and unique critters such as capivara. The forest has also been designated a World Biosphere Reserve, with a large number of highly endangered species including the well-known marmosets, lion tamarins and woolly spider monkeys. Unfortunately, it has been extensively cleared since colonial times, mainly for the farming of sugar cane and for urban settlements — The remnants are estimated to be less than 10% of the original, and that is often broken into hilltop islands. However, large swaths of it are protected by hundreds of parks, including 131 federal parks, 443 state parks, and 14 municipal parks, most of which are open to visitation.
Campos Gerais - With a vast vegetation of grasses and areas of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest, this region offers beautiful scenery of cliffs and canyons, as Jaguaricatú Valley, beyond the fifth and the eighth most extensive canyons in the world, which are respectively Guartelá and Jaguariaíva . Jaguariaíva the canyon is made more beautiful rafting activity in Brazil.
Pantanal - A vast tropical wetland expanse, one of the world's largest. 80% of it lies within the state of Mato Grosso do Sul but it also extends into Mato Grosso (as well as into portions of Bolivia and Paraguay), sprawling over an area estimated at between 140,000 and 195,000 square kilometers (54,000-75,000 sq mi). 80% of the Pantanal floodplains are submerged during the rainy seasons, nurturing an astonishing biologically diverse collection of aquatic plants and helping support a dense array of animal species.
Waterfalls (Cachoeiras) - Brazil has an amazing range of impressive waterfalls of all sizes and shapes. Iguaçu Falls, in eastern Parana, is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, truly a sight to see. The 353-meter Cachoeira da Fumaça in Bahia's Chapada Diamantina National Park is the country's second highest waterfall, after the Amazon's almost inaccessible Cachoeira do Araca. Other famous waterfalls include Caracol Falls, in a Rio Grande do Sul state park of the same name near Canela, Itaquira Falls, an easily accessible 168-meter fall near Formosa, Goiás, and the gorge at Parque da Cascata near Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais. Aside from the nationally famous falls, in many parts of the country, particularly the South, Southeast, and Central West regions, you are rarely far from at least one locally-famous, named waterfall worth a short hike.

4 Best Places to Visit in Rio - 1 Month Update
Number 3 was our favorite. Rio is truly one of the most beautiful cities in the world! I love being surrounded by thick, rich, green vegetation everywhere we go. The plant life is so incredible, we all just stop and stare. All these places are great and easy to enjoy with the family. Video 8
1. Copacabana Beach. One of the most famous beaches in the world. It is beautiful, perfect for surfing and sun bathing. The wide sidewalk is lined with incredible black and white cobblestone. Great for scenic walks.
2. Parque Lage (where Snoop Dogg and Pharrell filmed their video “Beautiful”) Parque Enrique Lage is a public park in the city of Rio de Janeiro, located in the Jardim Botânico neighborhood at the foot of the Corcovado. The land was formerly the residence of industrialist Enrique Lage and his wife, singer Gabriella Besanzoni. We also enjoyed playing at a playground on the perminses where we saw monkeys in the trees.
3. The Rio de Janeiro Botanical Garden or Jardim Botânico is located at the Jardim Botânico district in the Zona Sul (South Zone) of Rio de Janeiro. The Botanical Garden shows the diversity of Brazilian and foreign flora. There are numerous greenhouses. The garden also houses monuments of historical, artistic and archaeological significance. The 140-hectare park lies at the foot of the Corcovado Mountain, far below the right arm of the statue of Christ the Redeemer and contains more than 6,000 different species of tropical and subtropical plants and trees, including 900 varieties of palm trees.
4. The Vista Chinesa (Chinese Belvedere). It’s in the same neighborhood as Jardim Botânico and the Parque Nacional & Floresta da Tijuca. It has a beautiful traditional Chinese structure overlooking the amazing views of Rio.

Architecture
------------------
Colonial architecture - Many cities have reminders of Brazil's colonial past, with churches, monasteries, forts, barracks, and other structures still intact. Some of the most concentrated and best-preserved colonial buildings can be found in old gold-mining towns such as Ouro Preto and Tiradentes, but many other cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis, Salvador, Recife, Paraty, and Goiânia have quite significant colonial centers as well.
Oscar Niemeyer works - Niemeyer, Brazil's most famous architect, is a modern architectural pioneer who explores the aesthetic impact of reinforced concrete, using curves to create buildings with a unique sense of space.

Here are some interesting facts you probably didn’t know about Carnaval. Number 8 is my favorite.
Every year Brazil’s Carnaval brings millions of people to this incredible festival full of parades, culture, excitement, public street parties and celebrations. Carnaval is the biggest week long party in the world. Video 113
1. Rio De Janeiro’s Carnival is registered in the Guiness Book as the biggest carnival in the world.
2. In Brazilian Portuguese, it’s written as ‘Carnaval’ but for the majority of the rest of the world, it’s written as ‘Carnival’; and both are correct!
3. In Salvador alone, estimations state that approximately 2.5 million people participate in the festivities every year (1.5 million being tourists). This festival has a large positive impact on Salvador’s local economy.
4. Salvador is the “the biggest African city outside Africa” with 83% of the people claiming black ancestry. The difference between Carnaval in Salvador and Rio de Janeiro is that Salvador is an incredibly vibrant public street party with huge blocos and cultural events. While Rio’s main event is the parade in the Sambadromo where spectators watch elaborate floats.
5.In Rio’s Sambodromo, the Samba schools are judged on their elaborate floats, costumes, dancing and music. This is a very important competition and some schools spend over 4 million dollars on outfits and preparations.
6.The Carnaval in Brazil is always held 40 days before Easter, ending at noon on Ash Wednesday.
7. There are more than 2 million people on the streets every day during the carnaval.
8. Brazilian Samba derived from a mixture of African and European influences. Brazilian Samba is one the most popular dances in South America. The dance has evolved over time to become a cultural identity for Brazilians. And I recommend you try it. Don’t worry if you can’t samba; just move your feet, have fun and smile. Brazilians want you to enjoy their culture so don’t be shy.
9. Carnaval is celebrated all over Brazil in their own unique ways. But the biggest celebrations are held in Rio, Sao Paulo, Salvador, Recife, Olinda and Manaus.
10. The word Carnaval is represented as the last period of feasting and celebration before the strict spiritual period of Lent. So, all that dancing, parading and fun is really just to say goodbye to steak dinners for a while.
Carnival is a chance to let people set aside their everyday lives, adorn themselves with costumes, masks and allow themselves to experience an amplified sense of social unity, art, music, and excitement. We are an American family living in Salvador, Brazil. I know from experience that Brazilians want to share their culture and beauty with you. So put Brazil’s Carnival on your bucket list and make it a priority to come and experience the world’s biggest party.
This is Pelourinho, the historical district in Salvador. This is my favorite place to go for Carnaval and to take visiting family or friends during other times of the year. It tops the charts for one of the best afro Brazilian cultural experiences. It’s also the most unique, vibrant, colorful, celebration and is great for families and kids. I highly recommend it.
We moved our family of 7 from Nevada, USA to Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. We came to experience Brazilian culture, learn Portuguese and start a business. We opened a trampoline park called Big Jump on June 30, 2018. We post weekly adventures so please Subscribe and click the bell for updates on new videos. Thank you so Much!

Rio de Janeiro Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
The early morning in Rio de Janeiro brings quiet, misty coastlines and pink-purple sunrises. The Brazilian locals are up and about soon enough, piling onto the beautiful beaches and expressing themselves through artwork, dance, and the ubiquitous Rio de Janeiro partying.
A Rio de Janeiro tour must stop at Christ the Redeemer, the ubiquitous statue that watches over the city from above the Tijuca National Forest. Take the cable car to the lookout point on Sugarloaf Mountain, the city’s iconic peak, and try not to look down – it’s a long way to drop!
After a morning spent in nature, your Rio de Janeiro sightseeing should continue in the city proper. Join the sun worshippers at Copacabana, where you can stake out a patch of beach or float out to sea with the paddleboarders. Shop for souvenirs in Ipanema, or take part in the street dances, festivals, and parades that may spontaneously break out.
The “Cidade Maravilhosa,” or the marvelous city, has much to offer all of its visitors. What impression will it leave with you?

Shopping in Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
Brazilian style has claimed its place on the world's stage, or the catwalk at least. Thanks to key fashion events like Rio de Janeiro Fashion Week and world-famous Brazilian supermodels, local trends are now spreading worldwide. Havaianas flip flops) are a global brand, skimpy Brazilian flag bikinis are a hit in Capri, and Naomi Campbell and Madonna swear by Gilson Martins's trendy bags. Where to shop in Rio? Cariocas prefer the ease of modern malls but the city offers plenty of shopping options for all tastes and budgets.
Key areas:
The key areas to shop until you drop are Rua Visconde de Pirajá, Ipanema, and Avenida Ataulfo de Paiva, Leblon. Rio also has plenty of good bookstores, many with pleasant cafés. The western suburbs of São Conrado and Barra are good for malls, while Santa Teresa offers a peaceful atmosphere for browsing its galleries and handicraft shops.
Markets:
Rio is not famous for its markets, but two are worth a visit. Feira Hippie (Hippy Market), Praça General Osório, Ipanema, gathers the best of Brazil's handicrafts and artwork every Sunday, while Feira Rio Antigo, Rua Lavradio, close to Lapa, offers a wonderful mix of antiques, art and music on the first Saturday of the month.
Shopping centres:
Rio offers many shopping malls, some providing a shuttle bus service to and from hotels. The best malls are located in the Zona Sul. Shopping Leblon, Avenida Afrânio de Melo Franco 290, is one of the city's biggest, perfect for clothes and beachwear. Shopping da Gávea, Rua Marques de São Vicente 52, has a great selection of home décor as well as theatres and cinemas. Bordering the western suburb of São Conrado, Fashion Mall, Estrada da Gávea 899, is a trendy mall and includes Clube Chocolate, the ultimate destination for fashionistas. The farthest flung, but biggest mall, is Barra Shopping, Avenida das Americas 4666, Barra da Tijuca. Its 600 outlets include fashion, music, and home décor, as well as restaurants, cinemas and a bowling alley.
Opening hours:
Shops in Rio are usually open Monday to Friday 0900-1900 and Saturday 0900-1300, although hours vary according to the location and type of business. Shopping centres are generally open daily 1000-2200, although some have more limited opening hours on Sundays. Shopping malls are generally open daily 1000-2200, with limited opening on Sundays.
Souvenirs:
Unsurprisingly, Rio's most popular products relate to its beachlife: sunglasses, swimwear, and flip-flops (Havaianas reign supreme, but cheaper brands are available too). Fashion is also excellent, as well as gemstones, handbags, shoes and other leather goods. High quality handicrafts from all over Brazil are sold in the giftshops of the Museu do Indio and Museu do Folclore, and in several specialist stores in Ipanema. Cachaça -- cane rum -- is widely available, but is cheaper in supermarkets. Prices are much higher now that the Brazilian economy is booming, but haggling is possible if you pay cash at street stalls and markets.
