Brazil, consider by Brazilians to be a continent in its own right, is a land well versed in extremes. It is the fifth largest country in the world, covering more than half of South America and has a geographic diversity like nowhere else.
Rio de Janeiro with its famous beaches remains one of the most seductive cities in the world. No visit to this bustling city is complete without seeing both the Sugarloaf and Corcovado mountains, which offer a different perspective of this majestic city.
Lying 250km to the south of Rio is Parati, a small colonial town, designed to flood during high tide; it gives the appearance of a town submerged. A great escape from the city, this quaint town has 65 islands and numerous beaches ideal for unwinding.
The majestic Iguaçu Falls are a collection of 287 waterfalls that form the borders of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay and are unrivalled for sheer beauty.
The Amazon River is the longest, widest river, with the greatest volume of water, in the world. The mighty Amazon basin is a maze of waterways and lagoons, which can be visited by boat or alternatively from a lodge. In the centre lies Manaus, the capital of the region and at one time was the most prosperous on the continent.
Brazil’s north east coast contains pristine beaches and with year round good weather this is the destination for water sports and relaxation. The city of Salvador however is the heartbeat of the region, with an African influence, colonial architecture and coupled with Brazilian flair makes it a unique cultural experience.
The national park island of Fernando de Noronha situated off the coats of Recife is an untouched paradise. The island contains 26 beaches, one of which was voted the best in Brazil, along with numerous walking trails and superb snorkelling and diving opportunities.
