Another must see place is Christ the Redeemer “Christo Redentor” which is a statue of Jesus on top of a mountain which can be seen from practically the whole city, finally the other must see place in Rio is Sugar Loaf mountain “Pao de Acucar”. Sugar Loaf is a peak in a mountain where it’s possible to look over the whole city, with cable cars taking you to the summit. Rio has the most famous carnival in Brazil and great history when it comes to music having been the place where Samba and Bossa Nova was invented.

The largest city in the Brazil is Sao Paulo, with over 10 million in habitants. Sao Paulo is known as the most cosmopolitan city in Brazil; it has a large number of ethnic minority communities which has lead to it being seen as having the best range and quality of restaurants in Brazil. As well as being known for its food, it’s also well known for its museums such as the Museu Paulista do Ipiranga, the gothic Metropolitan Se Cathedral and the Sao Paulo Museum of Art. Sao Paulo also has the most successful Brazilian football team in Sao Paulo FC, holding the most national and international titles of any Brazilian club.

Finally another amazing city to visit in Brazil is Salvador, which is one of the most beautiful cities in the world; it’s located in the North East of Brazil and is the capital of the state of Bahia. It is known as being the most easygoing city in the Brazil and is famous for street parties and the carnival. Over 80% of the population in Salvador has Black African ancestry which has an effect of the food and music in Salvador. Salvador is the city to visit if you are looking for beautiful beaches and none stop partying.

Whichever city it is that you visit in Brazil you need to make sure you have a pair of Brazil Havaianas, a bikini and that you are looking to have a party.

27 Jul 2010 7 Reasons Why You Should Visit Brazil
Author: admin |  Category: Accomodation  | Tags: , , ,  | Leave a Comment

7 Reasons Why You Should Visit Brazil

Brazil is no doubt one of the most beautiful countries in the world thanks to its wonderful beaches, rainforests as well as the famous Rio de Janeiro carnival. But what else makes this country a top priority for millions of tourists every year? This article will show you only 7 reasons why you should plan your next vacation here.

1. Beaches – Brazil has to offer no more than 2,000 beaches that are stretch along the Brazilian shoreline. Although many of these beaches are very populated, a large part of them are preserved ecological sanctuaries;

2. Culture – in Brazil you will find a fabulous mix of totally different and exciting cultures that you won’t find anywhere else on this planet. Strong cultural resilience sustains, for example, the efforts of indigenous people and African-Brazilians as they reaffirm their sense of identity through strife. And it’s safe to affirm that the people who have created Brazil are, as a rule, friendly to foreign tourists, despite nationally, race, culture or social status.

3. Cuisine – ever heard of Brasil Sabor? Well, it is the largest culinary festival in Brazil and you can imagine what you will find there. Besides this, in Brazil you will also get acquainted to the Comida di Buteco, which is the annual Belo Horizonte Bar Food Contest. In Brazil you will find, from open fire pits tended in the open fields of Rio Grande do Sul by gauchos, the South American cowboys, to upscale restaurants abroad;

4. Cities & Towns – almost all of the Brazilian inhabitants live in cities and towns. Strolling through the streets of Brazil you will find colonial towns like Ouro Preto or the daringly designed capital – Barsilia. Let’s not forget about the famous Rio de Janeiro where the biggest carnival on Earth can be found every year or the lovely city of Sao Paulo;

5. Friendly Weather – the northeastern coastal cities like Fortaleza for example, boast approximately 300 days of sunshine per year. The fall and winter travel in a great part of Brazil is exquisite thanks to the cool sunrises, a general shedding of sweaters during unbelievably bright sparkling sunny days and crystal clear, chilly nights that are perfect for cuddling by the relaxing fireplace;

6. Tourism As A Priority – Brazil has its own Ministry Of Tourism not to mention that both state and city administrations are putting in serious money, just like the private sector. With other words, they offer better road infrastructure, jobs, significant improvement of community life and other benefits;

7. Celebrations & Events – the list is very long and for that reason we will point out only the major events: the Rio de Janeiro Carnival, Festas Juninas, St. Vito Festival, Festa Nacional do Indio, Festa do Divino and last but not least, the celebration of the new year – the Reveillon;

All things considered, if you haven’t been to Brazil yet you don’t know how fabulous this country is and the numerous possibilities for fun you have here. As far as the accommodations are concerned, they offer hotels for all budgets so surely you will find a nice play to stay.
