Brazil Travel & Tourism

Located in the Eastern corner of South America, Brazil attracts travelers looking to relax while exploring a culture-rich society. The country offers more than 7000 kilometers of white sandy beaches speckled with tropic islands. Venture into the country’s tropical interior to view spectacular waterfalls, canyons, sparkling rivers and an astounding variety of wildlife. Visit Rio de Janeiro, a city surrounded by picturesque mountains on one side and the azure ocean on the other. The city’s Copacabana and Ipanema beaches are popular for swimming and sunbathing while the Tijuca rainforest allows anxious visitors to escape into peace and solitude. Olinda is just one of the historical colonial towns that speckle Brazil’s countryside. Founded in 1535, the town features colorful buildings with red tiled roofs, art galleries and museums lined along twisted cobble-stone streets. Escape to Parque Nacional Marinho De Abrolhos, a marine wildlife preserve that includes reefs and an archipelago. Visitors can walk along the island in tour groups or snorkel and dive in to view the park’s underwater treasures. Whether you are looking for overland or underwater escapades, a hip dance club or a relaxing beach, Brazil offers a variety of ways for visitors to quench their thirst for adventure.
