BRAzIL


The Federative Republic of Brazil is located in South America´s eastern coast, and it´s the continent´s largest country. It borders with all South American countries - except for Ecuador and Chile - and its long coastline shores the Atlantic Ocean. With over 3 million square miles and 202 million inhabitants, Brazil is as diverse as its size. Home to the Amazon Forest, it boasts more than 4 million native animal and plant species, making its territory one of the most biodiverse areas in the planet. The country´s tropical climate, its famous beaches, savannahs, wetlands and lush natural landscape make it a favorite for tourists all year round. When helping your customers plan their trip to Brazil, bear in mind not all countries have the same entry requirements. While nationals from South America can enter with their ID card, citizens from other countries may need a valid passport, visas and /or vaccination certificates. Once the paperwork is in order, getting to Brazil is fairly easy, for it has over 4000 airports, 40 ports and an extensive highway system. Melting pot of ethnic groups, Brazil is home to a rich mix of Amerindian, African and European cultures. Even though half of the 6 million tourists that visit Brazil stay at Río de Janeiro, this South American giant has a lot to offer, and will seduce travelers with countless breathtaking destinations, picture perfect beaches and exuberant landscapes.

From Sao Paulo´s sophistication to the wild Amazon forest, suggest an unforgettable trip full of joy and exuberance!


RIO DE JANEIRO


Río de Janeiro is located on the southeastern Atlantic coast, in Guanabara Bay. It is Brazil´s second largest city, and was its capital until 1960. Nestled among Morros (hills), it boasts beautiful beaches, parks and islands that attract tourists from all over the world. Known as the Marvelous City, it is famous for its iconic landmarks such as the Sugarloaf Mountain, Ipanema and Copacabana Beaches, the giant Christ Redeemer and the Sambadrome. Home to the world´s most famous Carnival celebration, Rio shines in Samba splendor during February. During the 5 day Carnival, a party spirit takes over the city, and all Río pays tribute to King Momo. Carnival is celebrated 40 days before Palm Sunday, and its date varies between February and March. Carnival is observed on Monday and Tuesday, but in Rio the celebration begins on the previous Thursday, when the Mayor hands over the City Keys to King Momo. Festivities start that same night and end on Ash Wednesday. Even though street parties can be found all over the city, the main attraction during Carnival is the Special Group Parade at the Sambadrome. The Special Groups are the best 12 Samba Schools, and they parade for over an hour each, offering an unmatched display of choreographies, costumes and music. Tickets to the Sambadrome are often sold out quite in advance, but general rehearsals are free, and general public can attend and enjoy the Rio Carnival parade. Río has a wide array of attractions aside from Carnival, and it dazzles visitors with its fabulous beaches, famous architectural landmarks, lively nightlife, avant-garde cuisine and picture perfect settings to practice sports.

Rio is a vibrant destination all year round, full of energy, joy and music. Invite your customers to Río de Janeiro, the Marvelous City!
