A short guide about Cruising to Brazil

Brazil is the largest and most important country in South America, bordering all countries on the continent, except for Chile and Ecuador. Brazil offers an awesome mix of culture and races, great cities and a wide range of weather patterns. It is land of contrasts with its Amazon forest, fantastic beaches, soccer players, and Carnivals.

Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo are the two megacities of Brazil, to the northeast is the city of Salvador, with its old colonial towns Ouro Preto and Olinda. Tour the Iguacu Falls for its natural beauty, and there is nothing in the world like the Carnival in Rio. Brasilia is the capital city known for its great architecture.

In the North East is Praia de Pipa serviced by the international airports Natal and Recife. This small town is popular with both Brazilians and foreign tourists. The laid back attitude of the friendly locals is a welcome change to some of the more recognised but less safe and inviting destinations.

In Southern Brazil is Santa Catarina, which is visited every year by people who prefer the not too crowded spots like major cities or places where all tourists go. Small beaches like Mariscal, Garopaba, Taquaras or Estaleiro are not too far away from medium size cities, and still conserve their natural enchantments. Praia do Pinho (close to Balneario Camboriu - the most important touristic spot in southern Brazil) is the paradise for naturists as it is the first official nude beach in Brazil. Many adventure activities such as rafting, diving, fishing, trekking are also available in this beautiful region.
