The Beautiful Country of Brazil!

Iguazu Falls- 

Down in the south of Brazil, straddling the border of Argentina and Paraguay, is the small town of Foz de Iguaçu, one of the most visited spots in the country. That’s because it is home to the Foz de Iguaçu waterfalls, one of the world’s largest falls containing hundreds of mighty cascades. This waterfall divides the Iguazu river into two levels, upper and lower Iquazu. The height of iquazu falls ranges from 197 feet to 269 feet. Catwalks and a tower give you different perspectives, and one bridge reaches all the way to one of the largest, known as the Garganta do Diabo (Devil’s Throat). You can cross to the Argentinian side for closer views from catwalks that extend farther into the center of the falls. The feeling of being so close to the waterfalls and feeling the mist land on your face is so calming and smoothing. This was an amazing experience i hope you guys can feel it for yourselves one day!

Rio De Janeiro- 

A city known for its amazing contrasts, Rio de Janeiro has perfectly golden shores, tremendous forests, and a metropolis to create a home for its six million residents and a holiday destination for its millions of annual tourists. I remember when i arrived at the airport i saw people from all over the world and i must have heard at least five languages being spoken at a time. It was crazy to see so many people. This city holds attractions such as Christ the Redeemer, Sugar loaf, and Copacabana, and a chance to go on a off-track spots such as the unforgettable TransCarioca 180-kilometer hike, or the mesmerizing sunset at Arpoador.

If you love music, then you don’t need to wait for Carnival for a samba hit; you can head to the samba schools for their all-year-round samba shows including live music and jaw-dropping dancers. This city has so much to offer so, if you decide to go make sure you have a set plan because there is so much to see. I didn’t have a plan but the locals gave me maps and brochures of all the nice places to go which made me realize there are so many places to see but not enough time. 😥

Sugar Loaf- 

Christ the Redeemer- 

Copacabana- 

Carnaval-

The Amazon- 

Over 60 percentage of Amazon rainforest , world’s ;largest tropical rainforest contained within range of Brazil. About 20 kilometers southeast of Manaus, the dark Rio Negro waters meet the light muddy water of the Rio Solimões, flowing side by side for about six kilometers before mixing as the Amazon. Boat trips from Manaus take you to this point, called Encontro das Aguas, meeting of the waters. Other boat trips take you into the heart of the rain forests and the network of rivers, channels, and lakes formed by the three rivers. In the Rio Negro, the Anavilhanas Islands form an archipelago with lakes, streams, and flooded forests that offer a full cross-section of the Amazonian ecosystem. You can see monkeys, sloths, parrots, toucans, caimans, turtles, and other wildlife on a boat trip here.

Also close to Manaus, the 688-hectare Janauari Ecological Park has a number of different ecosystems that you can explore by boat along its narrow waterways. In order to get the best experience you need to hire a guide, most of the time they are natives and the know the land really well. This will help you feel more safe and secure instead of going in blind. Nothing beats seeing all of these animals in their natural habitat. 

Pernambuco Beaches-

The crystal waters, tall palm trees, and broad stretches of silver sand are only a few of the reasons why Porto de Galinhas is frequently cited as Brazil’s best beach. For a country with more than 7,000 kilometers of Atlantic coast, much of it sandy beaches, that’s saying a lot. The town stretching along the beach is laidback, colorful, and just the right blend of old-fashioned beach town fun. Its hotels and resorts lie close to the land instead of soaring in high-rise blocks. Jangadas, colorful sailboats, will take you out to reef-top pools where tropical fish swim around your feet in ankle-deep water. You can also take a boat to a lagoon where tiny seahorses swim, and you can scuba dive to explore impressive coral reefs or shipwrecks, kayak in the lagoons and rivers or buy a kite from a beach kiosk to fly which is pretty cool.  

This all i got to see in Brazil, my next blog will be on Costa Rica!
