BRAZIL: TRULY LIFETIME HOLIDAYS
Brazil offers world top and unique travel features you will not find elsewhere…
Brazil has the world’s largest rainforest and river (the Amazon), the biggest waterfalls of the world (Iguassu), the hugest American concentration of wild life (the Pantanal), the longest tropical beach coast of the world, or the biggest world popular street festival (the Carnival).
And these aren’t just quantitative things. They are very substantial and major tourist features - features that are completed by other remarkable ones, as its people spirit: Brazilians have a truly amazing way of facing life, especially in the Northeast, or in Rio de Janeiro region. The intensity with which they live the music, or their sympathy, is legendary and truly remarkable.
ARE BRAZILIAN HOLIDAYS TOO EXPENSIVE?
The Brazilian hotels are very affordable, even the luxury ones. And its availability isn’t usually a problem, with some exceptions... The problem is in air flights. Brazil is rather peripheral, and that costs.
Air flights prices to Brazil can vary dramatically. If you are making reservations on the very eve in a particular air company, then your chances of getting a good air-ticket price are indeed very low.
There are, anyway, some chances of getting good savings and cheaper air-flight...

TOURS IN BRAZIL AND TRAVEL PACKAGES
Instead of a unique Brazilian destination, why not two, or three, or even more? That’s a good way of diluting air flight costs.
Your Brazilian vacations can include very diverse world top destinations: Rio de Janeiro, Manaus (and the Amazon), tropical beach resorts in the Northeast, and Iguassu Falls can all be part of your Brazil Travel Package.
Brazilians love their country. They are in love with it, and use to say, to glorify their beauties and natural landscapes, that «God is Brazilian». And, indeed, in many ways, He has blessed Brazil. Brazil has a wide set of unique and unparalleled opportunities for those who wish to visit it.
If you are looking for tropical resorts in Brazil, consider those of the Northeast coast. Beach resorts near Rio, or southward, are fine, but they aren’t truly tropical or so preserved or exotic as those surrounding Bahia, Recife or Fortaleza.
Amazon and Manaus
Manaus region, in the heart of the Amazon, is a special Brazil travel destination. If you want to feel and wonder with the immense green of the rainforest, with its aquatic environment and with its extended web life, you should consider Manaus.

The Iguassu Falls
The biggest waterfalls of the world are in Brazil. And they are surrounded by an intense tropical forest, which you can explore by boat, by bike or by plane. Niagara compared to Iguassu is just like a water drop…

All year round beaches
Many of the most amazing beaches of the world are Brazilians – though not exactly in Rio de Janeiro, or nearby, as some people think, but in… the Northeast. If you want to include top world beaches in your trip to Brazil, the Brazilian Northeast coast is the best option.

The Brazilian Pantanal
A rather unknown animal reserve, with a dimension larger than France, seasonally flooded, the Pantanal is a big destination for those who do not fear the mud and some discomfort to watch bird and wild life in a scale inexistent elsewhere in America.

Traveling into the Brazilian Amazon rain forest is a unique experience. Nobody is immune to the intense sense of smallness and wonder caused by the immensity of the green and the water world of the world biggest rainforest.
If you want characteristically tropical beaches,
you should not search in Rio de Janeiro, or nearby, or in the South of Brazil.
You should search in the Northeast coast, in Bahia, or more northward, around
Recife or Fortaleza.
For fun, nightlife, animation or parties, Rio de Janeiro is at the top. But Bahia (Salvador), with its exoticism and persistent musical traditions, or even Sao Paulo (as a big metropolis of over 15 million people, with lots of restaurants, clubs, bars and night clubs and discos), are good alternatives. All depends of what you are looking for.

TRAVELING AND THE BRAZILIAN WEATHER
It’s the rain – not the cold – that you should equate if your destination is the Northeast, the Amazon, Rio de Janeiro and surroundings, or Sao Paulo. Though most showers usually last no more than one hour or two, with subsequent sun reappearing, there are more persistent rainfalls in some regions.

BRAZILIAN VACATIONS: VISA AND VACCINATION
Europeans do not need Visa, but Americans do. Why? That’s not any anti-American spirit or something politic. Brazilians don’t have true enemies - that’s not in their style. The visa requirements are just a question of reciprocity, and a dull administrative option. American authorities demand a visa to Brazilians; so Brazilian authorities also demand a visa to their northern
neighbors. So... you do indeed need a visa, if you live in the United States or in Canada. But that isn’t a significant problem. It’s not difficult to get it…
