There is no shortage of places to travel in Brazil! It has a wonderful diversity, stunning landscapes and cities that offer the most varied qualities. Some destinations stand out for their good tourism infrastructure and others for their large number of attractions, cultural inheritance or abundance of natural beauty.
Brazil is full of beautiful natural landscapes and many of it is protected through the creation of National Parks. These parks constitute protected areas so that nature remains in its best condition. Brazil currently has 74 national parks, managed by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio).
Are you looking for something to do in Brazil? Whether you live in the area, have recently moved there or are just passing through, we have several tips and unmissable events. Carnaval, of course, being the absolute highlight of the year: nothing perhaps reflects the soul of the Brazilian people more than its carnival.
Brazil's top-10 tourist destinations
Electing the best destinations in Brazil is not a simple task, especially when there are so many paradises to choose from. It would be unfair if we made that ranking ourselves. Therefore, in the face of such responsibility, the results were computed based on the votes of more than 25.000 travellers, considering trips carried out by them in 2019 or the previous year.
How to extend your tourist visa
When travelling to Brazil on a tourist visa, a question that commonly arises for foreigners who really liked the country or developed some form of attachment to it, is the following: Is it possible to stay in the country as a tourist for more than the standard 90 days?
Backpacking / travel routes
Often thought of as a separate part of South America entirely, Brazil is by far the largest country on the continent covering over 47% of the landmass. It’s so big that it covers four different time zones! For sheer size reasons, Brazil can be a trip entirely on its own, but with a different language, culture and feel to the rest of South America it can seem like you are in a different continent altogether.
How to send money to Brazil
Sending money to Brazil is more complex than most foreign citizens might expect. Brazil has a history of extreme regulation of money entering and leaving the country. Commercial banks in Brazil such as Bradesco and Itaú may take weeks to release funds until clients have provided many documents required and their slow currency exchange departments have thoroughly reviewed these documents.
