Overview

Brazil

A country of excess, Brazil is always out to outdo itself: The bay of Rio is one of the most beautiful in the world, dominated by the Sugar Loaf and Christ the redeemer. You'll also find the unmissable beach of Copacabana, and the Iguazu falls, among the most impressive cascades in the world. The mythical Amazon forest, the lungs of the planet, and its indomitable queen, the Amazon river, make this country one of the world's most important ecological footholds, and give it its ravaging beauty. However, Brazil is also known for its rich culture, especially when during the Carnival of Rio de Janeiro. Let the sounds of Samba guide you as you explore this massive country and its many mythical sites.

Our Editorial team's advice

Patience and relaxation are de rigueur to travel in this country. In general, the services are slow. Forget pressure, choose to negotiate, or better: the ressourcefulness system. If you are going to the beach, do it the Brazilian way; take almost nothing (and especially not your hotel key and wallet). Leave the place where you are staying in a bathing suit and a pareo. Put some light clothes in your suitcase, but take a jumper anyway for the winter evenings in Rio. For Amazonia, take walking shoes, a hat, and a waterproof garment.
You should also be aware that the carnival in Salvador is much more festive than in Rio, so go to Salvador if you want to mingle with the population. In Rio, you can (by booking in advance) go to the sambodrome parades, however street processions have practically disappeared. To find out the dates of the carnival in advance, remember that it begins 4 days before Ash Wednesday. So festivities begin at the week-end and culminate on Shrove Tuesday.

Feature

Churrasco and caipirinhas in Rio de Janeiro

Guanabara or 'arm of the sea' is the name the Indians bestowed upon the large, well protected bay that has given Rio its famous reputation. The Portuguese explorers named it the 'January River', misled by this vast body of water whose 100 mile coastline is actually not a river at all, naturally closed off by a gullet of several hundred metres. In order ...
