COUNTRY PRESENTATION

One of the world's most captivating places, Brazil is a country of powdery white-sand beaches, verdant rainforests and wild, rhythm-filled metropolises. Brazil's attractions extend from frozen-in-time colonial towns to otherworldly landscapes of red-rock canyons, thundering waterfalls and coral-fringed tropical islands. Then there's Brazil's biodiversity: legendary in scope, its diverse ecosystems boast the greatest collection of plant and animal species found anywhere on earth. There are countless places where you can spot iconic species in Brazil, including toucans, scarlet macaws, howler monkeys, capybara, pink dolphins, sea turtles and thousands of other living species.

WHY VISIT

The beaches

With more than 1500 Brazilian beaches to choose from and more than 500 picturesque island paradises, it is going to be very hard to work out which one to visit first.

The salty sea lapping against the strips of sandy shore as far as the eye can see, while the wind whispers through the fronds of the palm trees is absolutely one of the best reasons to visit Brazil.

Carnival fever

Charismatic Brazil is famous for its hugely popular Carnival, outrageous costumes, street dancing and parties that carry on until dawn, bring the city to life. Rio has set a benchmark when it comes to Carnival.

The ecological landscapes:

Home to the amazing Amazon Forest and a haven for the bio diverse ecotourism, with the highest biodiversity of plant species in the world, Brazil is the most unique destination with more than 1km of rain forest housing more than 100,000 tons of living plant life.

WHEN TO VISIT

Remember that in the southern hemisphere the seasons are the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere.

In general, Brazil is a year-round destination with temperatures rarely dipping below 20°C (68°F), apart from in the mountains and southern regions. The climate varies from hot and dry in the arid interior to humid and sticky in the tropical rainforests of the Amazon jungle.

Due to the huge size of the country it is important to analyze the weather averages per region. The Amazon has a very distinct weather such as the Pantanal.
