Famous for its love of dancing, fun, festivals, and football, Brazil is one of those bucket list countries most want to visit in their lifetime. It’s a unique land known for its firsts and originality and is home to the world-famous Rio Carnival, Samba, Capoeira, and of course Caipirinha. The country is filled with beautiful people and gorgeous beaches the most famous being Copacabana Beach. The vastness and variations of the landscapes make Brazil a particularly interesting destination and having spent many months traveling around this extraordinary country, here is my choice for the best and most beautiful places to visit in Brazil…
1. Rio de Janeiro – the famously stunning, sunny and fun-loving city
A list of beautiful places in Brazil would not be complete without Rio de Janeiro. Everyone I know that has visited loves the place.
The city offers something for everyone. Do you want to go hang-gliding? Then do it – the birds-eye view of Rio is hard to beat! Trekking? That is also a possibility. Fancy visiting one of the seven world wonders? Go ahead, but do set a couple of hours aside since the ride up to Christ the Redeemer takes a little while.
Bored of hectic city life? Then take a tour to the famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema and then finish the day enjoying the nightlife in Lapa, a neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro which offers bars and clubs which cater to all tastes.
2. Chapada Diamantina, Bahia – a stunning place to explore in Brazil
The gorgeous National Park Chapada Diamantina takes its name from the steep cliffs in the region as well as to the diamonds that where once found here.
Visiting the national park you will be provided a smorgasbord of beautiful views of the landscapes from different cliffs. You will see canyons, waterfalls, natural swimming pools, caves, and much more. It’s definitely one of those beautiful places which will stay with you even after you leave.
3. Iguazú Falls, Paraná – the world-famous natural attraction
I don’t think a list of beautiful places in Brazil would be worth the name unless Foz do Iguaçu was part of it. The Iguazú falls consist of more than 270 waterfalls of different sizes which border Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay are a truly amazing spectacle.
If in Brazil (or any of the other bordering countries) do not miss the opportunity to see what is one of Mother Nature´s greatest expression of the beauty in our world.
4. Búzios, Rio de Janeiro – a beautiful Brazilian resort set on an ocean peninsula
A resort town with roughly 34,000 residents, Búzios is the place to go when you want calmness and serenity, and a break from the hustle and bustle of a tourist’s life. A lot of the people who live there are fishermen, and it offers all sorts of water activities, including swimming and surfing.
In fact, you’ll find a little bit of everything in this town, including shopping, restaurants, bars and lounges, art museums, and just about anything else you need to make your vacation unforgettable.
5. Florianópolis, Santa Catarina – home to 60 beaches, sun, sand and waves
Located in the southern part of Brazil, Florianópolis has a total of 60 beaches and is noted for its surfing opportunities. It bases its economy mainly on tourism and information technology, so tourists can find a lot to do there.
Radical sports and nature offer some of the best opportunities for tourists, as well as activities that include mountain climbing, hang-gliding, rowing, and paragliding. It is connected to the continent by three bridges, one of which is the Hercilio Luz Bridge, which is famous but is now closed.
