Brazil is an amazing, unique country with a specific mentality and flavor. Here the traveler can find almost everything: cultural and historical sights, gorgeous nature, unique wildlife, entertainment. Rarely is one trip enough to appreciate all the delights of a South American country.
Man Made Brazilian Landmarks
The capital of Brazil is the city of Brasilia, rebuilt in three years. It is here that the government of the country is located, officials sit and the main industrial enterprises are located. Brasilia is not the most beloved city of the Brazilians themselves. However, travelers have a lot to see here.
The main attraction of the capital is the Cathedral of the Virgin Mary. It is designed in the style of modern architecture by the famous Oscar Niemeyer. The cathedral was created from the favorite materials of the "creator": reinforced concrete, glass and metal. The main hall is underground, and only the dome is visible on the surface. Its shape symbolizes the hands raised in prayer to heaven.
The main attraction of the country is the statue of Christ the Redeemer, who spread his arms over the famous Rio de Janeiro. The monument has long been recognized as a symbol of Brazil. For his sake alone, the country is visited by about 2 million tourists a year.
Christ the Redeemer is today considered one of the seven wonders of the world. Climbing up to the 38-meter statue, you can also enjoy unique views of the city, lagoon and beaches.
Do not forget about the phenomenal Brazilian carnival, which takes place in almost every city in the big country. However, the main fun, which has gained worldwide fame, takes place in Rio de Janeiro. Incendiary rhythms of samba, bright costumes (or lack thereof), deafening music of the theatrical procession attract many tourists from all over the world.
Natural attractions of the country
Brazil's nature is unique and inimitable. Most of the country is occupied by the Amazon forests, which produce more than 50% of the oxygen on the entire Earth. The famous Amazon also passes through the territory of Brazil, which, together with its tributaries, contains almost 20% of all fresh water on the planet.
A unique Brazilian landmark is the Iguazu Falls. It is located on the border of two countries: Brazil and Argentina and has a horseshoe shape. Here you will feel the power and uniqueness of nature.
The nature of Brazil deserves special attention. She is unusually picturesque, powerful, beautiful. Bright, lush forests give way to calm blue water, smoothly turning into rocky mountains.
Millions of beach-loving tourists visit one of the world's most famous beaches, Copacabana, every year. A four-kilometer wide strip of sand stretches along Rio de Janeiro. Here you will find entertainment for all tastes: water sports, sitting in a bar or relaxing sunbathing. However, be careful: Copacabana is also recognized as one of the most dangerous beaches. Don't leave things unattended.
Nature lovers should visit another Brazilian celebrity: Chapada Diamantina Park, a national treasure. Numerous mountain formations of bizarre shapes, mysterious caves, exotic plants, virgin forests, mirror lakes coexist here. By visiting the park, you will discover an incredible variety of nature.
