| If you are thinking about going to Brazil, I | | | | to travel by air to 5 major brazilian |
| think you are a very smart person. Brazil is | | | | cities. My suggestion goes as follows: |
| an exciting country with plenty to see and do | | | | |
| and a very warm people who love to receive | | | | Start with Rio because it's the major hub |
| and share with whomever is receptive enough | | | | but don't spend too much time there. |
| to make friends with them.I would start by | | | | |
| Rio of course. Rio is a very big city and | | | | Just enjoy the beauty of it for a few days, |
| just like any other city | | | | take a few of the escorted jeep tours |
| | | | |
| around the world, you have to be careful. | | | | around the forests of Rio, visit Corcovado |
| Rio has many wonderful places that are | | | | and Sugar Loaf, go to the beach and then |
| | | | |
| sure to take the breath away. Corcovado, | | | | move on. Next stop, Salvador. This is one of |
| Sugar Loaf, The Vista Chinesa, Tijuca | | | | the coolest places you are going to |
| | | | |
| Forest and so on and so forth. The beaches | | | | be at in the world. It's a mixture of New |
| in Rio are an experience for the newcomer. | | | | Orleans, Kenya, Jamaica and Paradise beaches, |
| | | | |
| In Ipanema beach, every day when the sun | | | | all with the Brazilian "tempero" a seasoning |
| goes down, everyone watches in silence and | | | | that only in Brazil you will find.In |
| | | | Salvador, you will see Capoeira rodas, music |
| finally clap in awe of the beauty of the | | | | in the streets and art and life everwhere. |
| scenery. The best place to go to the beach | | | | |
| | | | It's a must. Since you are already in Bahia, |
| in Rio depends on what kind of person you | | | | o Morro de Sao Paulo is not too far and |
| are.If you are young and want to mingle and | | | | |
| see interesting brazilian youth exuding their | | | | neither is Trancoso, these are classical |
| | | | beaches where you need not worry about shoes. |
| charm and unbelievably beautiful bodies, go | | | | |
| to Posto 9 in Ipanema, where they play | | | | It's all sandy and it doesn't cost much to |
| | | | stay there either. You will experience a |
| footvolley all day, the boys and girls are | | | | |
| golden and there's everything you could | | | | level of warmth and service that might make |
| | | | you want to forget the States and move there. |
| possibly want on a beach day for you to | | | | |
| enjoy. Vendors walking by selling everything | | | | Visit both and then move on.So, with 4 more |
| | | | air tickets to spend, I'd do the following: |
| from popsicles to hammocks and sun glasses | | | | |
| to shrimp cabobs. The service is nice. | | | | Go to the Amazon and take a jungle tour in |
| | | | Manaus. There is no reason not to see the |
| Now, if you are a family and you are looking | | | | |
| to really just enjoy the sun and beach | | | | most beautiful rainforest in Brazil and the |
| | | | world and it will enrich your life just |
| on a weekday (weekdays are much better at | | | | |
| the beach in Rio), then I suggest you | | | | to have been there and be able to tell the |
| | | | stories.Next, a stop in Minas to visit the |
| try the Barra da Tijuca beach. It is so vast | | | | old town of Ouro Preto which seems like the |
| it never really seems to be that full | | | | entire |
| | | | |
| (except on Sundays when the so called | | | | town was sculpted by an artist and it's fun |
| 'suburbanos' are there). But even then it's | | | | and sweet. Not very dangerous either. |
| nice.Personally, I like the Botanical Gardens | | | | |
| on Sundays. It's quiet and nice and you can | | | | Relax here and take the time to enjoy the |
| | | | best brazilian cuisine you will find |
| see a lot of very cool things, feed the fish | | | | |
| and pelicans on the pond and rest | | | | in the entire country of Brazil.After this, |
| | | | on your way back to Rio, go visit Buzios and |
| under a Pau Brasil tree. The beach is way | | | | make sure you get souvenirs |
| too full to be nice on the weekends. | | | | |
| | | | there and go walk on rua das Pedras. It's |
| Or to take a nice hike up the many hidden | | | | classy and supposedly Brigitte Bardot |
| waterfalls that make you forget entirely | | | | |
| | | | (the French actress) used to walk around |
| that you are right in one of the biggest | | | | topless there.That's it for today. Please be |
| cities in the world. It feels more like | | | | sure to visit |
| | | | |
| a tropical jungle.If you have plenty of time | | | | for more Brazilian Travel, Tourism in |
| to really get to know Brazil, like 3 or 4 | | | | Brazil, Brazilian Business |
| weeks, I suggest | | | | |
| | | | and of Course, Brazilian Soccer info. Dias |
| getting a Brazil pass, it's a ticket that | | | | was the first brazilian to ever create an |
| costs around $500 US and that it allows you | | | | ezine and one of the first to create an |
| | | | online business. |
