The legendary river that plays such a vital role in the planet we all call home. With towering trees, flooded forests, wildlife, and a nap in a hammock, the Amazon is a recipe for a legendary holiday. Stay in a jungle lodge, gain insight from naturalist guides, slowly cruise upriver, and just sit-back and immerse yourself in your own personal Nat Geo mini-series.
Hugging the border with Argentina, the Iguazu Falls are Brazil's Pyramids or Great Wall per se, and they certainly do not disappoint. With an abundance of nature, activities and sites to behold, the Foz do Iguacu are a must-see and among the world's greatest wonders.
Take a walking tour of one of the most genuinely beautiful cities in Brazil, and arguably the world, with a colonial past, the buildings, plazas and heritage along with nearby coastline make this a recommendation worth heeding. She's beautiful, but unembellished, spiritual but energetic, and artsy yet genuine, Salvador is Brazil's gem that marches to an extremely catchy rhythm.
One of the world's biggest and most extravagant parties, Rio's carnival, held every year about 40 days before Easter, is an artistic, musical and undoubtedly entertaining celebration that sets the bar for festivals, parades and parties the world over. With over 2 million people attending, 500,000 of which are travelers, if you can make it, you will be glad you did. Brazilians indeed know how to have fun, and Carnival is their way of letting you know it.
