Brasil
"Sensational!"
A look to Brasil
The largest country in Latin America, with almost continental proportions, is also one of the most geographically and culturally diverse.
Divided into five regions, each one offering attractions that are difficult to condense into a single visit. Thus we can go from the spectacular Iguazú Falls -with their 2,700 meters of width and 275 jumps- to the calm beaches of Florianopolis.
Large cities such as Rio de Janeiro, with its famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema and its admired Carnival -4 days of festivals, music and color- or Brasilia, capital of the country, designed specifically for this administrative function, are mixed with the memory of colonial times that have maintained their personality and idiosyncrasy like Paraty and OuroPreto.
The Amazon and the Pantanal of Mato Grosso, the largest wetland in the world, are refuges of nature that compete with each other for the variety of flora and fauna. They are home to 30% of the world’s biodiversity, where new species of plants, animals and insects are discovered and cataloged each year.
It is worth mentioning Salvador de Bahía, a city considered a melting pot of history, culture, races, flavors and colors, as well as Manaus, the main gateway to the Amazon.
It is highly encouraged to consider visiting the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, consisting of 21 islands with clear waters, preserved from any aggression to the environment.
All of these attractions are supported and complimented by a great hotel and service infrastructure, in a country that welcomes an enormous amount of tourists every year, throughout the year.
