Why Visit Brazil? You’re kidding, right?
Well, for those who are just getting to know this big, beautiful South American country, here is a quick rundown of what Brazil has to offer…
Nature and Wildlife Encounters
Brazil has some of the most exotic and fascinating wildlife on the planet and you can get a close-up look when you visit Brazil’s nature hotspots. Everyone knows about the amazing plant and animal species in the Amazon Rainforest, featuring pink river dolphins, manatees and huge caiman (a type of crocodile). The pantanal area is the world’s largest wetlands and a haven for birds and land mammals. Giant anteaters, wild stork and rare blue macaws are just a few of the highlights there. Underwater animal encounters can be found all along the coast of Brazil, including Fernando de Noronha and Abrolhos and feature whales, dolphins and sea turtles. Unforgettable natural wonders include the desert dunes of the Lençõis Maranhenses and Foz de Iguaçú.

Praia do Forte in Cabo Frio
beaches, blog (March 31, 2007)On the coastline of the drab and unimpressive city of Cabo Frio, is one of the most stunningly beautiful stretches of white sand and blue water in the Americas. You’ll quickly see why this coastline became famous as a tourist destination. Whatever you may think of the town of Cabo Frio, that long stretch Cabo Frio beach remains an amazing piece of work by Mother Nature.
Those Brazilian Bikinis…
Bikini, beaches (March 1, 2006)
New fashions offer variety, economy and a touch of self-expression
Brazil’s bikini fashions are always out in front and what’s showing on the beaches of Brazil this summer is likely to appear in the northern hemisphere this June and July. So what’s Brazil up to this year in beach fashions? Apparently, the hit of the season is a mix-and-match, combine-and-clash kind of approach. It’s floral bottoms with checkered tops and unmatched colors. It’s last year’s bottoms with that top from three years ago that no longer has a bottom to match. It’s economical, for sure, and it offers a kind of artistic self-expression. You get to demonstrate how you combine unrelated bikini parts to make a personal statement. Plus, in Brazil’s beachwear shops, it’s common to find barrels of unmatched bikini parts at blow-out prices. So you can appear on the sand with brand-new unmatched swimwear, if you like. Or buy three or four bikinis and start shuffling. When you think of it, it’s actually a lot of fun.
