Above: Maps of Brazil: some eco-destinations
Brazil is a very extensive country, rather unindustrialized. Many regions are scarcely populated, and some villages and districts are largely cut off from the exterior world, turning them truly eco-destinations.
Some major ecological vacation spots in Brazil:
- The Amazon
- The Pantanal: for bird colonies and animal fauna observation.
- Fernando de Noronha Islands: an integral reserve, whose marine fauna and colonies of seabirds compete with those of Galapagos.
- Northeast eco-resort beaches as Praia do Forte, near Salvador da Bahia, or Ilha de Comandatuba (Ilheus), or small fisher towns and beaches some dozens miles from Fortaleza, such as Canoa Quebrada, Lagoinha, Cumbuco or Jericoacoara.
