Brazil travel guide
Occupying more than half of the continent, Brazil, also known as the Federative Republic of Brazil is the largest South American country. It shares its borders with every South American country except Chile and Ecuador. With a coastline extending almost 4600 miles, this captivating country has no less to offer. From breath-taking views, white-sandy beaches, verdant rainforests to soul-swelling magical waterfalls, experience Brazil’s captivating spell Read more
- No matter what time of the year you choose to visit Brazil, you are promised pleasant weather. Most of the country celebrates a warm climate because of the tropics, but as you move south, you will experience more diverse climates. Be a part of their New Year and Carnival celebrations during November to March - the warmest yet most enjoyable months. During June and July, appreciate afternoon showers along the north-eastern cities. For aesthetic clear skies and rocks playing hide and seek through the cascades, visit Brazil in March, April, and September.
- To secure yourself from common crimes such as pick-pocketing, ensure you don’t leave any of your belongings unattended. Simple things such as not keeping your wallet in your back pocket and being aware of your surroundings in crowded areas is a necessity. An abundant part of the population speaks Portuguese and very little English. Thus, ensure you are fluent in a few important Portuguese phrases and have translator apps and phrasebooks to assist you. Brazil is 8.5 hours behind Indian standard time, but the adventure that awaits will be worth the hassle!
- There are no direct flights from India to Brazil. However, offering their exceptional service, Emirates, Vistara, Qatar Airways, British Airways, and Lufthansa are a few that help you reach this magical destination. Long distance buses and tourist-oriented steam trains are a great and affordable way to travel to different Brazilian cities. Taxis, ferries, and the metro (available only in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo) are also sources of convenient transportation inside the city.
- A never-ending mix of culture, cuisines, festivals, and activities, Brazil is the perfect destination, whether you are travelling alone, with your family or friends. Experience their everlasting passion for football, golden shore beaches, exotic forests, and bustling metropolitan city life.
- Rio de Janeiro’s vibrant and culturally rich surroundings have everything you’d want in one place. The famous tourist attractions include Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf and Copacabana. Don’t forget to be a part of their festive carnivals that are a dazzling explosion of colour, costumes and rhythmic music. Sit at the edge of your seat while watching samba shows, live music and jaw-dropping dance routines. Watch the sunset with a mesmerising view at Arpoador.
- Love hiking? TransCarioca, a 180 Kilometre hike, is an unforgettable scenic experience you wouldn’t want to miss. Go to the heart of rainforests and rivers in the Amazon with the help of unforgettable boat trips spotting monkeys, parrots, toucans, turtles, and other wildlife along your journey. With a trip to Manaus, experience beauty in its most natural untouched form.
- Take a walk through Cidade Alta’s colonial towns, Brasília’s stunning architectural buildings and art museums in Sao Paulo to assimilate Brazil’s historical past blended with modernity. Unleash your adventurous surfer on the huge waves of Florianopolis Beach and get the chance to worship the sun followed by parties of a lifetime!
- Catch a breath and visit Paraty for a relaxing holiday. Its cobbled streets will take you back to your childhood story books. Their bohemian markets and fresh seafood restaurants are a must try. Savour the national dish of Brazil, feijoada - a stew made with black beans and pork, with dried beef added to it. This delicacy can be found in restaurants and stalls.
- Acqua, Sao Paulo is termed to be one of the tourist hotspots for eateries. Experience their Brazil and Italian flavours and try their creamy seafood casserole baked to perfection. Lachoneyes (snack bars) and Paradise (bakeries) are popular amongst Brazilians, especially those with a sweet tooth. Remember to start your day with Brazil’s most famous coffee. For an authentic eating experience, try dishes from the various stalls located on the streets
- Shop till you drop in Ipanema’s commercial area. With several malls surrounding the area, it’s a paradise for shopaholics! Feira do Rio Antigo in Rio de Janeiro has monthly antique sales that are a must see. Whether it is shopping, dining, sight-seeing, or simply taking a walk, Brazil caters to every one of you.
