Booking a Holiday, Tour, or Vacation in Brazil

By Stuart Cheese

In my capacity as the UK Director of Operations for One
World Tours Limited, one of my jobs is to ensure every
client has the best tour possible, so here are my top
suggestions for sites to take in during your holiday
in Brazil.

Brazil is the largest country in Latin America and
almost covers half of South America. The whole of the
eastern coast of Brazil is lapped by the Atlantic Ocean.
The Equator and Tropic of Capricorn cut through Brazil
and it is home to varied fauna and flora.

1. This is only my opinion but Rio de Janeiro is one of
the most beautiful and spectacular cities in the world.
If you have travelled across the world to this the city
then visiting the Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pao de Acucar)
is a must.

This peak is very recogniseable and whenever you see it
on TV you instantly know that you are viewing Rio. If you
are a seasoned climber then good luck to you, I prefer the
gass panelled cable car to reach the top.

The Rio-Niteroi bridge is located across the Bayand an
awesome place to view Sugar Loaf Mountain. If this is not
enough to whet your appetite then how about indulging
yourself in the stunning natural harbour and beautiful
surroundings such as the world-famous beaches of
Copacabana and Ipanema.

2. Iguacu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil, is
considered one the great natural wonders of South America.
No matter how you choose to spell it you cannot help but
be inspired these magnificent falls which change depending
on whether it has rained or not. These impressive falls
are bigger than the Niagra falls, spread for over 2 miles
in the shape of a horse shoe.

3. Salvador Bahia is an exotic tropical city which is near
the equator. Here you can enjoy the sandy beaches which are
lapped by the warm turquoise waters of the ocean.

If you are old enough to remember the young lady eating a
coconut chocolate bar, then the beaches here are remini-
scent of the taste of paradise.

4. The Amazonas territory is said to be over 95% rainforest,
and is so called after the Amazon River. This is also where
the highest mountain in Brazil can be found.

It is quite something to ponder when you realise that the
Amazon rainforest here in Brazil makes up over half of the
planets remaining rainforests. The rainforest is truly a
most stunning place to visit with it’s flora and fauna and
amazing natural beauty.

Brazil is most certainly gem in South America's crown as
not only does it offer some of the most awesome array of
stunning beaches and, steamy jungles it is home to some
of the most spectacular carnivals in the world.

This country is so extremely breathtaking and boasts
rainforests that have sections that remain to be explored
and of course it is all overlooked by Christ the Redeemer.

All that said it is important to consider the weather
before planning a trip to Brazil. There are certain
regions in the country that could have a major bearing
on how you enjoy your trip.
