Brazil is a country that gets a lot of attention from travelers, and for good reason. It’s not just the endless variety of rainforest retreats or the unrivaled beaches that draw visitors—it’s also because you can do so much there in such a little time. You can visit dozens of different states or even countries in one trip to Brazil, making it one of the most tourism-friendly countries on earth. Here are the top things you need to do if you are planning a trip to Brazil soon.
[highlight background=”#FFCAD4″ style=”underline”]Get acquainted with the culture[/highlight]
It’s understandable if you’re a little nervous to visit Brazil if you’ve never been there before. While you’ll find plenty of things to do there, there’s no way to avoid the fact that you’ll be visiting a completely different country when you’re there. And while it’s easy to get caught up in the moment, you’ll want to make sure you get a good understanding of the culture before you go. First, you’ll want to make sure you know a few things about the Brazilian culture. For one, the country is very diverse, meaning there are a lot of different ethnic groups living there. In fact, there are more than 200 different ethnic groups in Brazil, making it one of the most multicultural countries in the world. In addition, the country is very religious. Not only is there a huge Catholic population, but many people also follow African and indigenous religions.
Catch a football (or rugby) match
If you’re a football (or rugby) fan, you’ll want to visit Brazil as soon as you can. Yes, you can play soccer in the World Cup this summer, but you’ll find the best footballing experience there. Of course, our biggest tip is to catch a Brazilian or “Brasileirão” football (or rugby) match. You might find it difficult to find a game to begin with, but once you do, you’ll want to make sure you experience it all the way. In terms of what to do, we can’t recommend catching a game at any level enough. Make a trip to the stadium, where you’ll want to take in the atmosphere, get your hands on some real Brazlian football (or rugby), and maybe even get yourself a Brazilian jersey to wear during your trip.
Take an amazing sunset cruise on the Amazon River
You’ve probably seen a ton of photos of people riding on a boat while enjoying the sunset on the Amazon River. We recommend you add this to your must-do list. Because while this might be one of the most visited places in the world, it’s still a bit off the beaten path. You’ll be cruising along the Amazon River on a boat that has a bar, so you can order some drinks, and spend the day relaxing and enjoying the sights. If you’re looking for something more than just the typical tourist activities, this is a great way to experience the best of what the Amazon River has to offer. You can enjoy the best Amazon adventure by taking a cruise that sails along the tributaries or the main river. In fact, you can do a full Amazon cruise that visits five different countries. These cruises typically visit the Amazon River between the months of March and December, when the river is at its lowest volume due to the rainy season.
Hit a carnival
We all know the carnival is one of the most popular things to do in Brazil, but you might be surprised to learn that many of the best ones are in the smaller cities and villages, not the big ones in Rio or Sao Paulo. If you’re going to hit one, we recommend you choose a smaller one. These are best since they are more intimate and in some cases, even more authentic than the big ones. You’ll want to make sure you take a trip to the carnival in your home state or even a neighbouring state because these are often more authentic than the big ones in the big cities. If you’re looking for a great way to experience some of the best of Brazilian culture and meet some incredible people, we highly recommend hitting a Brazilian carnival. You’ll find that these are often smaller and more authentic than the ones you find in the larger cities.
Go hiking in the Brazilian countryside
If you’re a fan of hiking, make sure you add this to your must-do list. While you can find plenty of hikes in the cities, you’ll find yourself truly experiencing the country in a new way while hiking in the Brazilian countryside. For example, you might find yourself hiking through a dense rainforest or even climbing one of the country’s many mountains. These hikes are often much more difficult than the ones in the cities, so make sure you’re prepared before you go. You’ll want to make sure you have plenty of water, a jacket for the cooler temperatures, and a snack for the hike. Make sure you know how to identify hazards like landslides and other dangers before you go. Hiking in the Brazilian countryside often means hiking through dense forest or even climbing a mountain. While you can find hikes in the cities, we recommend you head out to the countryside to get to experience the real thing. This is a great way to truly get a sense of the country and explore some parts of the country you might not otherwise visit.
Visit a historical site like Sao Paulo’s Mercado Modelo or Rio de Janeiro’s Candelaria Church
The more you visit, the better you’ll get at identifying the signs, so don’t miss out on visiting one of the many historical sites in Brazil. For example, the Sao Paulo Mercado Modelo Market is one of the country’s most famous historical sites and is a great place to visit. It’s a large public market that dates back to the 1800s and is one of the oldest and most traditional markets in Brazil. Similarly, Rio de Janeiro’s Candelaria Church is one of the oldest churches in South America and is also a great historical site to visit. These are a few of the best historical sites to visit, but there are many more that are all worth visiting.
Enjoy some of Brazil’s best beaches: Copacabana, Ipanema, and more
Of course, you’re going to want to make sure you enjoy some of the country’s best beaches when you’re there. For example, we recommend making a trip to Rio de Janeiro to check out Copacabana Beach. It’s one of the most iconic beaches in the world and is also a great place for surfing. If you’re looking to visit a few more beaches, we recommend making a trip to Ipanema Beach in Rio or Florianopolis’s Porto da Praia. These are just a few of the best beaches in Brazil, but there are many more, each with its own special characteristics.
Don’t forget to hike one of the country’s iconic peaks: Morro da Urca, Pico da Neblina and more!
Finally, don’t forget to make time to hike one of the country’s iconic peaks. For example, Pico da Neblina is the highest mountain in Brazil and is a great way to experience a bit of local culture. It’s also one of the many mountains in the country that is a great place to visit during the winter, when the mountain is covered in snow. There are many more great mountains in the country, each with its own unique characteristics that make it worth visiting.
