Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world. Its tourist attractions consist of imposing waterfalls, wetlands filled with wildlife, and the untouched wilderness of the Amazon rainforest where several isolated tribes still live without any contact with the rest of the world.
Here are some of the best places to travel in Brazil:
- Teatro Amazonas – it is an opera house located in Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. It was built during the heyday of rubber trade using materials from all over the world, with furniture from Paris, marble from Italy, and steel from England. On the outside of the building, the dome was covered with 36,000 decorated ceramic tiles painted in the colors of the Brazilian national flag.
- Fernando de Noronha – it is situated 354 km (220 miles) off the northeastern coast in Brazil. It is a beautiful archipelago with pristine beaches, landscapes and wildlife. The archipelago was discovered by Amerigo Vespucci in 1503 and temporarily occupied by the Dutch and French before Portugal established dominion in 1737.
- Rio Carnival – it is the biggest and the most famous carnival in Rio de Janeiro. The Rio Carnival attracts two million people per day on the streets and almost half a million foreigners during its 4 day celebration. The Carnival is all over the place, in the streets and squares, bars, clubs and all other venues in Rio, concluding in the spectacular Rio Samba Parade at the Sambadrome.
- The Pantanal – it is the largest wetland in the world that is mostly situated in Western Brazil but is extending into Bolivia and Paraguay as well. The Pantanal is also home to one of the largest Jaguar populations in the Americas.
