Brazil is an exceptional destination for tourism. The country owes it mostly to incredible landscapes like the Guiana Highlands in the north, Brazilian Uplands in the southeast and the Amazon in the North and North West. It is home to the most famous Atlantic city beaches in the world - Copacabana and Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil proudly holds several records for its wildlife numbers and diversity. This was a result of the urgent need to preserve endangered natural treasures  and has inspired a surge in ecotourism and responsible travel initiatives. This effort is making it possible for more travelers to enjoy Brazil in a sustainable way and preserving the best of Brazil for local communities.

Tourists that come to Brazil are lovers of wild nature, Amazonian exotics, and adventures, as well as, most of all, enthusiasts of the fun of life, which is guaranteed by the exceptional character of Brazilians. For hundreds of years, Brazilian culture has been in the making for people with very diverse ethnic and cultural heritage. A glorious mix of diversity is imprinted in the culture that has resulted in purely Brazilian items, celebrations, and traditions such as the bossa nova, capoeira, and the yellow soccer jersey. With so much diversity, it’s safe to say that the people who have created Brazil are, as a rule, friendly to foreign tourists. Brazil is famous for dances - among them samba. It is not only about music and movement, but primarily the soul and fire that are inherent in Brazilians. This is best seen during the carnival, which is celebrated in all corners of the country, especially in Rio and El Salvador de Bahia. Today’s Brazil is a paradise above all for the mountains, wild nature and especially in the North-East region, water sports enthusiasts.

Brazil became a Portuguese colony in 1500, remaining under Portuguese rule for 300 years. Remnants of this heritage can be seen throughout historic colonial cities even today and are one of the sightseeing highlights.

As the largest and most developed country on the continent, modern Brazil has several modern airports serving almost all major airlines and dynamically developing transportation and tourism infrastructure. Brazil’s Ministry of Tourism and state administration have been investing in their towns and cities to make visiting as easy as possible for tourists.  That translates into better roads, more jobs, an improvement of community life, and many other benefits that are turning Brazil into a very desirable destination.
