Brazil holidays
From the colour and passion of carnival to the immense Amazon rainforest, Brazil is a vibrant country of epic proportions; encompassing half the South American continent this vast nation offers many contrasting attractions.
Encapsulated, Brazil is a land of staggering beauty and colour, with a population keen on vibrant self - expression and offering an incredible array of memorable sites; it is this vitality that makes visiting Brazil an experience rather than just a holiday.
- Rio de Janeiro is the heartbeat of the country; known as the Cidade Maravilhosa (Marvellous City), it enjoys a spectacular natural setting sprawled amid the mountains that descend down to picturesque Guanabara Bay. The city is replete with sights and sounds: Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado, Sugar Loaf mountain and the famous beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana. This is a lively, vibrant, sometimes hectic city and its citizens have a genuine passion for life and music; exemplified, once a year, when the whole city goes crazy for the eclectic expression of Brazilian culture that is carnival.
- Away from Rio the pace of life slows a little, with the opportunity to enjoy the natural splendours, diverse wildlife, charming colonial towns and the endless miles of beautiful beaches that the country has to offer.
- Surrounded by tropical jungle, the spectacular Iguaçu Falls separate Brazil and Argentina.
- The Amazon rainforest offers a chance to search for the incredible array of rare and colourful wildlife.
- The UNESCO World Heritage listed city of Salvador offers an insight into the country’s Portuguese colonial history.
- Whilst the endless beaches of the Atlantic Coast offer an opportunity to slow down, relax and enjoy the country’s warm and hospitable climate.
