10 reasons to visit Brazil

Brazil is known for many things. It has a culture of outright openness, fun and is famous as a country of no introverts. If you like the idea of a place where you can learn a lot of things and you can’t help but feel good, Brazil is the ideal destination.

Here are some of the most wonderful things to look forward to in Brazil.

The Carnivals: Brazilian carnivals are known worldwide for their colorfulness, street celebrations and partying. Believe it or not, these carnivals are actually religious and while Rio’s carnivals are the most notorious, every city in Brazil actually has a version.

Pulse Travel Advice: To enjoy the Brazilian carnivals, we recommend that you visit in February. And if you can’t make it then, December is also a good time.

The Weather: Because it is situated right on the equator, the Brazilian weather is predictable all year long. There is no summer or winter and when the tropical heat gets too much, a light shower of rain nearly almost always brings it down.

Pulse Travel Advice: To enjoy Brazil’s unique weather, pack lots of light outfits and your best swimwear.

Happiness is a custom:  Happiness is a fundamental part of the Brazilian customs and it is evident in the day to day lives of the citizenry. It is hard to see a rude hotel attendant or unpleasant cab driver because it’s in the culture to greet everyone as if they were long-time friends. In fact, kissing strangers is customary in Brazil.

The Entertainment: If you’ve watched the Brazilian Carnival on TV, you will know that having a good time is focal to Brazilian culture. Anywhere you turn there is some form of entertainment: theater festivals, street dancing festivals, soccer festivals and music festivals. Brazilians always find something to celebrate no matter what.

The Amazon rainforest: The Amazon covers several regions of Latin America but Brazil has the largest share. If you wonder what the world must have looked like before humans came along, a day deep in the Amazon would be a perfect introduction. The Amazon rainforests even make it to the New 7 wonders of Nature list.

Pulse Travel Advice: If you are going to embark on a journey into the Amazon, make sure you pack appropriately.

The Natural attractions: Brazil is the only country in the world with more than one slot on the New 7 Wonders of Nature list. The Iguazu waterfalls are the other entry. The Iguazu is only the beginning of Brazil’s attractions. The clear pools of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, the canyons of the Chapada Diamantina National Park, Brolhos Marine National Park and other grand natural sites make Brazil the place to be for all nature lovers.

Sea Turtle hatching season: If you’re a nature lover, you’ll want to visit the village of Praia do Forte between October and March. You can help the sea turtles make their way out of the sand into the sea. It’s an experience you’ll never forget.

The Coffee: Brazil is the largest coffee producer in the world. Whatever brand of coffee you like, you can be rest assured that there is some Brazilian coffee in it. Brazilians drink coffee all day long and if you want to taste proper coffee in all its varieties, Brazil is the place to go.

The Football craze: Anyone who knows anything about football/soccer can testify that it is the country’s unofficial religion. Everyone in Brazil is a football fanatic. Soccer is played everywhere: on the beach, on the streets- everywhere.

Rio De Janeiro: If you were allowed to pick only one place in Brazil, Rio is the place. It represents everything that’s good about Brazil: from the Atlantic coastline to the non-stop partying, this city can’t fail to impress.
