The great Amazonian forest
Legendary and mystical, the Amazonian forest will make your dream. Its luxuriant flora and fauna, its places still unexplored by Man, and its native communities that know how to keep their customs and traditions, a trip to Brazil certainly allows you to live an unforgettable adventure. The visit to the great Amazonian forest allows you to separate yourself from the world in which you are used to living and to immerse yourself in another dimension far from technology and civilization.
There are two major Brazilian cities where you can discover the great Amazon rainforest, namely Manaus and Belém. Each one is known for its colonial architecture. You can find some interesting museums and monuments like the Bioparque, theaters, museums of natural sciences, and paleontology. After visiting these two cities, you can easily join excursions to explore the heart of the largest forest in the world, either by boat or by car. Since the Amazon is a vast forest area, it is advisable to leave over several days to better explore it. For this, you must be accompanied by local guides.
São Paulo, the heart of Brazil
São Paulo is the economic capital of Brazil. It is the largest and most dynamic city in the country. Behind its countless buildings, this metropolis also hides some wonders to visit during your trip to Brazil. If you are a history and culture lover, you should spend a few hours in São Paulo's art, Afro-Brazilian or soccer museums, or in the abbey and the cathedral.
Moreover, modern culture is also very present in the city with street art and animations organized by young Brazilians, in every corner of the city. Paulista Avenue is a place not to be missed to discover the local atmosphere. On the other hand, if you want to enjoy more natural places in São Paulo, you can walk in the Ibirapuera parks and in the Botanical Garden. In the evening, it is recommended to attend the festive atmosphere by going to the restaurants and small bars that are typical of the economic capital.
