Brazil<\/a> is huge (it\u2019s the fifth-largest country in the world and takes up almost half of South America), vibrant and filled with wonders, both human-made and natural. In fact, we\u2019d go as far as to say there\u2019s nowhere quite like Brazil with its staggering biodiversity, over 7,000 kilometres of unbroken coastline and unique culture, which varies from one region to the next. In this blog, we\u2019ll explore our top 10 favourite things to do in the country (although there are thousands), so get comfortable and dig in!<\/p>\n\n\n

Witness the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Stand beside Christ the Redeemer in Rio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Often called the \u2018Marvellous City\u2019, Rio de Janeiro<\/a> is a buzzing metropolis that doubles as a seaside town where everyone strolls about in Havaianas. The city is jam-packed with incredible sights (be sure to bring an extra memory card) but the most iconic of all is the striking statue of Christ the Redeemer. One of the New Seven Wonders of the World, his arms reach over the city from the top of Corcovado Mountain. Standing beside the 30-metre-tall figure is rather memorable in itself, but it\u2019s the view before you that really steals the show. From this vantage point, enjoy a 360\u00b0 panorama of the glinting bay, colourful streets and forest beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Visit in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the infamous crowds that gather around his feet.

Discover the beaches of Paraty, Costa Verde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Bask on the beaches of the Costa Verde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Occupying the shoreline between Rio de Janeiro<\/a> and Sao Paulo<\/a>, the Costa Verde<\/a> is a beautiful blend of Atlantic rainforest and idyllic islands and beaches. There are hundreds of gold, sandy stretches and hushed coves, some of which are only accessible by boat or kayak. Just offshore from Paraty<\/a>, the Costa Verde\u2019s historic centre, lies Ilha Grande<\/a>. A car-free paradise, the island is famed for its glorious beaches (there are over 100 of them) where you can soak up the sunshine, snorkel or scuba dive amongst dazzling marine life, or simply float in the clear turquoise waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: If you\u2019re visiting Ilha Grande, be sure to take some cash as you won\u2019t find a single ATM or bank on the island.

Enjoy the Carnaval in Salvador de Bahia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Get the full Carnaval experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Considered by many to be the biggest cultural event on Earth, Carnaval is the embodiment of that infectious Brazilian passion and flair. For about a week, the streets are taken over by fiery and feathered parades, where the samba is king and colours are non-negotiable. Rio\u2019s<\/a> version may be the most famous but we say, why not enjoy the festivities in the birthplace of Carnaval, Salvador de Bahia<\/a>? The city is Brazil\u2019s former capital and stuffed full of history. Make sure to pay a visit to the Casa do Carnaval, where you can learn all about its Afro-Brazilian origins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Don\u2019t miss out on Salvador de Bahia\u2019s scrumptious street food while you\u2019re in town \u2013 a gastronomic tour is highly recommended.

Explore the Brazilian side of Iguazu Falls by boat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Marvel at Iguazu Falls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Get swept up by the splendour of Iguazu Falls<\/a>, 275 separate cascades tumbling into a churning chasm below and completely ensconced by Atlantic rainforest. The Falls straddle the border between Argentina and Brazil<\/a>, but the latter offers the most spectacular, all-encompassing vistas. Enjoy strolls along the cliff edge or step out onto the metal walkway for the ultimate view of the Devil\u2019s Throat, take a speedboat ride to the base of the falls or soar overhead in a helicopter. Taller than Niagara and wider than Victoria Falls, the Cataratas do Igua\u00e7u are, without a doubt, one of the most spectacular sights in Brazil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: While December to February bring the most powerful flow, a visit between March and May or August and October means pleasant temperatures and moderate crowds.

Spot jaguars in the Pantanal wetlands<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Search for jaguars in the Pantanal wetlands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Spanning some 60,000 square miles in Brazil<\/a> alone, the Greater Pantanal<\/a> is the world\u2019s largest tropical wetland \u2013 and it also happens to be one of the best places for seeing jaguars in the wild. The Pantanal\u2019s open marshes, savannahs and rivers provide perfect conditions for wildlife watching, in the form of horseback rides with Pantaneiro cowboys, boating safaris or jeep drives. There\u2019s no feeling that quite matches earnestly scanning the trees before locking eyes with a stealthy jaguar, perfectly camouflaged in the foliage. The Greater Pantanal is also home to a menagerie of other creatures including capybaras, caimans, tapirs, giant river otters and exceptional birdlife like the hyacinth macaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Avoid the rainy months of November through to March as 80% of the Pantanal floods, meaning travelling is difficult and many lodges close.

Visit Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses National Park<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Sandboard & swim in Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses National Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, Len\u00e7\u00f3is Maranhenses National Park<\/a> appears to be a vast expanse of towering, impossibly white sand dunes formed over thousands of years by coastal winds. But venture over the crest of these dunes and you\u2019ll discover the rain-replenished pools that lie in between them, clear and blue as the sky. They range in size from vast lagoons to intimate pools, where all manner of colourful birdlife comes to drink. For the most adventurous of visitors, sandboard down the face of the dunes for the ultimate thrill and for the very best view, hop into a tiny airplane and gaze at the tapestry laid out below you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: The landscape changes in extremes from season to season with June to October being the optimal time to visit, when the pools are full and utterly photogenic.

See the ‘Meeting of the Waters’ in Manuas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Witness the \u2018Meeting of the Waters\u2019 in Manaus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Entirely surrounded by Amazon<\/a> rainforest, Manaus<\/a> is one of the most remote major cities in the world, and its very existence tends to defy belief. Home to over 2.2 million people, Manaus became a powerhouse during Brazil\u2019s<\/a> rubber boom when gorgeous structures were erected all over the city. A destination in its own right, Manaus is also the main gateway to the Amazon and a prime spot from which to see the iconic \u2018Meeting of the Waters\u2019 phenomenon. Here, the inky-black Rio Negro and sandy-hued Amazon River flow side by side for around six kilometres without mixing. While science easily explains it, the magic of this occurrence is clear to anyone that witnesses it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: While in Manaus, be sure to visit the Teatro Amazonas, an opulent opera house with a grand dome coated in 36,000 ceramic tiles in the vibrant Brazilian colours.

Go snorkelling in Bonito<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Located at the southern tip of the Greater Pantanal<\/a> wetland, Bonito<\/a> is an all-natural, open-air aquarium. Crystalline rivers carry you along in their gentle currents, past schools of exotic fish and aquatic flora, and visibility can easily exceed 30 metres. The Blue Lake Cave is one of Bonito\u2019s major drawcards and it\u2019s easy to see why. You\u2019ll descend into a voluminous cavern and into an electric-blue subterranean lake, where you can snorkel amongst the rock formations. The epitome of tranquillity\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: Don\u2019t skip a visit to Buraco das Araras, one of the world\u2019s largest sinkholes and now become a sanctuary for hundreds of red and green macaws.

Try Brazil\u2019s unique cuisines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its undeniable quality, food in Brazil<\/a> is another form of expression and culture with dishes and ingredients varying from region to region. From distinctive Afro-Bahian recipes and the melt-in-your-mouth street food of Rio<\/a> to the superb yet surprising Amazonian dishes, Brazil\u2019s culinary landscape is as varied as its geography. Of course, there is also high-end gastronomy to rival the globe\u2019s finest \u2013 Sao Paulo<\/a> has emerged as one of the great food cities of the world. And no trip to Brazil would be complete without a taste of its national cocktail, the zesty caipirinha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top tip: If you\u2019re a real seafood fundi, nothing beats dining on freshly-caught creations on the Bay of All Saints in Salvador de Bahia<\/a>.
