Discover Brazil
What are the must-see places to visit in Brazil?
Brazil is an immense country with multiple facets. Rio de Janeiro is a must with the Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado, the Sugarloaf Mountain, and the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. The Iguazu Falls, on the border with Argentina, offer a breathtaking natural spectacle. TheAmazon, accessible from Manaus, allows you to discover unique biodiversity during excursions in the forest or on the river. Salvador de Bahia, with its UNESCO-listed historic center of Pelourinho, is the heart of Afro-Brazilian culture. The Pantanal is a prime destination for wildlife observation, especially jaguars and caimans. The Lençóis Maranhenses, with their white sand dunes interspersed with freshwater lagoons, offer a surreal landscape. Let’s not forget the many beautiful beaches along the coast, such as those of Jericoacoara or the Costa Verde.
What are the most beautiful cities to visit in Brazil?
- Rio de Janeiro: The “Cidade Maravilhosa”, famous for its carnival, beaches, and exceptional natural setting.
- Salvador de Bahia: Historical and cultural capital, cradle of capoeira and samba de roda.
- São Paulo: The largest city in Brazil, a major economic and cultural center with a thriving gastronomy and art scene.
- Ouro Preto (Minas Gerais): Historic colonial town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, a testament to the gold rush.
- Paraty (Costa Verde): Charming preserved colonial town, nestled between sea and verdant mountains.
- Manaus (Amazonas): Gateway to the Amazon, with its famous opera house in the middle of the jungle.
What is the climate in Brazil?
Due to its vast extent, Brazil has several types of climates. Most of the country has a tropical climate, with high temperatures throughout the year.
- Amazon (North): Hot and humid equatorial climate, with frequent rains.
- Northeast: Tropical climate with a marked dry season (generally from May to October) and warm temperatures. The coasts are more humid.
- Southeast (Rio, São Paulo): Tropical highland or humid subtropical climate. Hot and humid summers, mild winters.
- South (Porto Alegre): Subtropical climate with more marked seasons, hot summers and cool winters, sometimes with frost. The best time to visit depends on the region. The coast enjoys pleasant temperatures almost all year round. Avoid the intense rainy season in certain regions (for example, in the Amazon or the Pantanal during the wet season).
What to eat in Brazil? Gastronomy in Brazil
Brazilian gastronomy is as diverse as its territory. The feijoada, a stew of black beans and pork, is often considered the national dish. The churrasco, a barbecue of various meats, is an institution. In the Northeast, try the moqueca (fish or seafood stew with coconut milk and palm oil), theacarajé (fried bean fritters), and vatapá. Tropical fruits are abundant and delicious (açaí, passion fruit, guava, mango). Don’t miss the pão de queijo (cheese bread roll) and fresh fruit juices. The caipirinha, a cocktail made with cachaça, sugar, and lime, is the national drink.

Practical tips for your trip to Brazil
Brazil is the only country in South America where the official language is Portuguese, not Spanish.
The official currency is the Brazilian Real (BRL). Credit cards are widely accepted in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants in major cities. However, it is always good to have cash on hand, especially in small towns, markets, or for taxis. ATMs (caixas eletrônicos) are common, but it’s best to use those located inside banks. The exchange rate may vary.
The inhabitants of Brazil are called Brazilians.
The official and most widely spoken language is Portuguese. Brazilian Portuguese differs slightly from European Portuguese in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary. In big cities and tourist areas, you will find people speaking English, but knowing a few words of Portuguese will be greatly appreciated.
In Brazil, the most common type of electrical plug is type N. However, type A and B plugs can still be found in some older places. Voltage and frequency vary by region: generally 127V or 220V, and 60Hz. It is crucial to check the local voltage and use a universal adapter and, if necessary, a voltage converter.
