Discover Brazil
What are the must-see places to visit in Brazil?
Brazil is a huge country with many facets. Rio de Janeiro is a must-see, with Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado, Sugarloaf Mountain, and the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. The Iguaçu Falls, on the border with Argentina, offer a magnificent natural spectacle. The Amazon, accessible from Manaus, lets you discover unique biodiversity on 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 watching, especially jaguars and caimans. The Lençóis Maranhenses, with their white sand dunes dotted with freshwater lagoons, offer a surreal landscape. Let’s not forget the many magnificent 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: A historic and cultural capital, the birthplace of capoeira and samba de roda.
- São Paulo: Brazil’s largest city, a major economic and cultural hub, with a thriving food and arts scene.
- Ouro Preto (Minas Gerais): A historic colonial town listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, a testament to the gold rush.
- Paraty (Costa Verde): A charming, well-preserved colonial town, nestled between the sea and lush green mountains.
- Manaus (Amazonas): The gateway to the Amazon, with its famous opera house in the middle of the jungle.
What is the climate like in Brazil?
Brazil, due to its vast size, has several types of climates. Most of the country has a tropical climate, with high temperatures year-round.
- Amazon (North): Hot and humid equatorial climate, with frequent rainfall.
- Northeast: Tropical climate with a pronounced 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, humid summers; mild winters.
- South (Porto Alegre): Subtropical climate with more distinct seasons, hot summers and cool winters, sometimes with frost. The best time to visit depends on the region. The coast enjoys pleasant temperatures almost year-round. Avoid the season of intense rains in certain regions (for example, in the Amazon or the Pantanal during the wet season).
What to eat in Brazil? Brazilian gastronomy
Brazilian cuisine is as diverse as its territory. Feijoada, a stew of black beans and pork, is often considered the national dish. Churrasco, a barbecue of assorted meats, is an institution. In the Northeast, try moqueca (a fish or seafood stew with coconut milk and palm oil), acarajé (fried bean fritter), and vatapá. Tropical fruits are abundant and delicious (açaí, maracuja, guava, mango). Don’t miss pão de queijo (small cheese bread) and fresh fruit juices. 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’s always a good idea to carry some cash with you, 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 can fluctuate.
The inhabitants of Brazil are called Brazilians (men) and Brazilian women.
The official and most widely spoken language is Portuguese. Brazilian Portuguese differs slightly from European Portuguese in terms of pronunciation and vocabulary. In major cities and tourist areas, you’ll find people who speak 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, you can still find type A and B plugs in some older places. Voltage and frequency vary by region: generally 127V or 220V, and 60Hz. It is therefore crucial to check the local voltage and use a universal adapter and, if necessary, a voltage converter.
