Brazil: location. Brazil is located on the east coast of South America, sharing land borders with Uruguay to the south; Argentina and Paraguay to the southwest; Bolivia and Peru in the west; Columbia to the northwest; and Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French Overseas Authority of French Guiana in the north.
Brazil: capital. The capital of Brazil is Brasilia, located on the Brazilian plateau.
Brazil: language. Portuguese is the first language of the vast majority of Brazilians. The indigenous peoples of Brazil speak dozens of separate languages, and the greatest divergence of the Brazilian language from Portuguese can be attributed to the initial contact with the Indians.
Brazil: religion. About two-thirds of the Brazilian people adhere to Roman Catholicism. Much of the rest of the population is Protestant, including fundamentalist and Pentecostal groups.
Brazil: currency. The currency of Brazil is the Brazilian Real (BRL).
Brazil: climate. Brazil has a humid tropical and subtropical climate, except for a drier region in the northeast, sometimes referred to as the drought polygon or quadrangle, which extends from northern Bahia to the coast between Natal and San Luis.
In winter (May to October), the Brazilian highlands are usually dry, with snow falling in only a few southern states. Regular frosts accompany winter air currents from the south, and temperatures close to frost can reach as far as Sao Paulo.
Brazil: when to go. Brazil is a year-round destination made up of several climate extremes, none of which are severe enough to avoid travel to any part of the country. Throughout Brazil, the warmest months are from November to March: summer in the southern hemisphere. The driest months in the Pantanal are from April to October, but like the Amazon, its wetter months offer excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and opportunities.
Sitis Travel highly recommends traveling to Brazil in February to celebrate the Rio Carnival and take part in the biggest party in the world.
Brazil: the main attractions.
Ipanema beach
Naturally, no trip to Brazil is complete without a visit to the famous Ipanema Beach. While there are plenty of more beautiful beaches in Brazil where you can relax and unwind, nothing beats the vibe of this place. Located near Copacabana and Arpoador, sit back, relax and people watch all around you.
Fernanda de Noronha
This UNESCO World Heritage-listed archipelago consists of 21 islands off the coast of Brazil. The views here are truly unbeatable, flaunting crystal clear blue waters, rocky cliffs and white sand beaches.
Statue of Christ the Redeemer
Perched high above the city of Rio de Janeiro, this huge statue is one of Brazil’s most famous tourist attractions. While most people have heard of it and seen pictures, it’s nothing compared to personal observation. The Christ the Redeemer monument itself is impressive, but it’s also the best place to enjoy panoramic views of the city.
Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park
This national park sits on an ancient plateau believed to be 1.8 billion years old! The park is dotted with sheer canyons, impressive quartz-crystalline cliffs, waterfalls and trails.
