Brazil destinations:
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is the capital city of the State of Rio de Janeiro, and also Brazil's capital from 1763 to 1961. Blessed with a wonderful natural setting wedged between mountains and the sea, watched from above by Christ the Redeemer atop Corcovado Mountain, and surrounded by tropical forests and lagoons, Rio is one of the world's top tourist destinations. It is the gateway to beach resorts such as Buzios, colonial Paraty, and Angra do Reis.
Iguassu Falls
Designated Natural Heritage of Humanity in 1986 by UNESCO, the Iguassu (Brazil)/Iguazu (Argentina) Falls are a spectacular sight. Shared by two countries, the falls are formed by 275 separate waterfalls, ranging in height from 40 meters to 100 meters and are surrounded by 225 thousand hectares of tropical forests with rare and endangered species of fauna and flora. Plenty of activities are available. The Falls can be visited all year long but extended rain is common in September and October.
Salvador da Bahia
Salvador, the capital city of the Bahia State, is an unique place where a magical air intermingles with reality to form a unique harmony. It begins with religious syncretism and continues to its striking setting of narrow streets and steep hills, forming the upper and lower city.

and All lodges offer different degrees of comfort so you have to know what you want. A lodge with electricity and air conditioning is not going to offer you the same jungle experience as a lodge that is located deep in the jungle and farther away form civilization, a trade off of comfort for a real experience in the wilderness. All lodges are simple and offer similar programs.
Pantanal
Along with the Amazon Basis, the Pantanal is one of the last virgin areas on the face of earth. A huge lowland plain, it is entirely overgrown by luxuriant vegetation dotted by thousands of rainbow colored flowers which bloom during the rainy season (January - June). It shelters innumerable rivers and crystal clear lakes. Along their shores are rare species of animals such as jaguars, peccaries, bob-cats, wild boards etc.

After 1964, when the French actress Brigitte Bardott spent her vacations there, the fishermen village became famous internationally. There are over 27 different beaches, all of them with emerald green ocean. All beaches have very charming inns and restaurants that serve Brazilian and international dishes. Activities include surfing, sailing, windsurfing, diving, and golf.
Recife
Although Recife is the fourth-largest city in Brazil, it is less modern and cosmopolitan than its more famous counterparts - very proud of its tranquility, history and natural sites like Boa Viagem beach, one of the most famous urban beaches in Brazil. Here you can enjoy of its pristine white sands, natural swimming pools and a wide walkway attached dotted with huts selling food and typical drinks.
It is a major port city, and much of its energy and culture has its source in the constant influx and outflow of trade. High rises, colonial churches, and markets quilt the city with a mix of old and new. It is often called the Venice of Brazil for its many canals, bridges, and tiny one-way streets.
Ouro Preto
Ouro Preto (meaning Black Gold) was founded as a mining town, acquiring fame and status during the 18th century's gold rush. Subsequently, it became a major center during what is known as Brazil's golden age, leaving an important cultural legacy. The city started an inevitable decline in the 19th century, but numerous churches, bridges and fountains remain as a testimony to its past prosperity and the exceptional talent of the Baroque sculptor Aleijadinho.
Praia do Forte
Praia do Forte is located only one hour north of Salvador, in Bahia. It is a protected environmental area with 12 kilometers of semi-deserted beach bordered by lush groves of coconut palms, close to the ecological Atlantic Forest, lagoons, beaches where sea turtles lay their eggs, whale observation areas, and for coral reefs. Also in the area is the charming Fishermen's Village and the Castelo Garcia D'Avila ruins, the only example of a medieval structure in Brazil.
Fortaleza
Fortaleza, a large, modern city where bold, new architecture contrasts, has become one of the preferred beach destinations among Brazilian and Latin American visitors due to its beautiful beaches and tall coconut palms. Beach Park in Porto das Dunas, 30 minutes from Fortaleza, is the largest water theme park in all of Latin America. For a day tour, it's a delight for kids of all ages.
Natal
Natal is a city of extraordinary beaches dotted with tiny fishing villages that will satisfy every taste - from beaches close to downtown to Ponta Negra, the departure point for the Sun Route on Rio Grande do Norte's southern coast.
The most sought-after beaches are Genipabu and Cotovelo. There are also delightful freshwater beaches along the Potengi River and its falls. The Reis Magos Fort, the birthplace of the city, is definitely worth a visit. On the other side, the beach and reefs form a gigantic, natural aquarium.
