To make the most of these attractive monuments, do not hesitate to plan your visits in Brazil by asking about opening hours, access conditions and entrance prices. Large families can get discounts, while children generally pay little or nothing at tourist attractions.

In addition, Brazil is also a country of surfers. How to write an article about the places to see in Brazil without mentioning  Copacabana, the most festive place in the country and the most intoxicating?  With its paradisiacal beaches, it is the ideal place to spend a vacation in Brazil that combines idleness, relaxation and joie de vivre, with a caipirinha in hand …

For party-goers, we recommend a detour to the  most beautiful coastal resorts where nightlife is dynamic, such as Belem, Ipanema, Guanarama Bay or Canoa Quebrada. In all of the Brazilian territory, there is no better place to party!

We cannot forget about other essential destinations and sites, such as Recife, Minas, Salvador de Bahia, Manaus, Ilha Grande, Noronha or Olindha, which have the most beautiful beaches in the world.
