Brazil Holidays

From the Amazon Jungle to spectacular beaches and vibrant culture a holiday to Brazil is an experience which can be repeated over and over again.  7491 kilometres of coastline, the exciting and vibrant cities of Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, the animals and wildlife of the Pantanal and the Amazon Jungle and the magnificent Iguassu Falls are just some of the main places to visit in Brazil.  The natural beauty of Brazil is complimented only by the friendliness of the people and the unmistakeable atmosphere of music, culture, food and samba that hangs in the air.  Brazil is home to one of the world’s most recognisable landmarks, the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janeiro which is now one of the new 7 Wonders of the World.   Honeymoons to Brazil are very popular with the option to create an itinerary with a bit of everything from nature and city stays to relaxing on the beach or being active! Brazil is hosting the 2014 Football World Cup & the 2016 Olympics. 

Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is perhaps one of the most famous and exciting cities in the world.  From Sugar Loaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer statue, the world famous ''''Carnival'''', Copacabana Beach, arty neighbourhoods, great nightlife and the beautiful people synonymous with Brazil, there is so much to see and do in Rio de Janeiro.
