What are the places to visit Brazil?|107382

Iam planning to go to Brazil, i want to know which month to go so that i can see more tourist and have more fun. I would also like to know how much will it cost to stay for a day?

When going to Brazil i think the main places to visit are as follows:

Christ the Redeemer _ Corcovado Hill, Rio de Janeiro

If you make it to Rio de Janeiro during your trip to Brazil it is
impossible to avoid Corcovado Hill and the world famous statue of Christ the Redeemer. Standing at one hundred and twenty five feet, it is Brazil��s most prominent landmark. Once you mount the hill to get to the statue you will also receive spectacular views out over the entire city. The idea for the statue came about in 1921 but the actual designing and building didn��t start until a decade later. The statue which the designers eventually came up with and the one that looks over Rio today symbolizes Christ with his arms open embracing all the people.

Amazon Rain Forest, Manaus

Tragic is the only word to describe a visit to Brazil without a trip to the Amazon rainforest. Home to thousands of the rarest species of flora and fauna in the world as well as numerous indigenous tribes, entering this wilderness is like nothing you are ever likely to experience again. Manaus, the capital city of the Brazilian state of Amazonas, is the gateway for all visitors to the depths of the rainforest and there are numerous tour operators who provide excellent packages which cater for everyone��s needs. Do shop around for the best value and try to avail of a tour which will provide anything you might need during your trip. Remember, you are heading into the wild so if you forget anything, there is no going back. Main activities, sports etc.

Iguaza Falls

While only a quarter of the falls are actually in Brazil, the remainder are in Argentina and Uruguay, they are still an attraction very much worth your while checking out. It is recommended that you see them from both sides of the various borders but you will need a visa to travel to the other countries. If you can at all, you should obtain do so and allow at least two days for your trip. If not, you will still see plenty to fascinate you. They are located in the northwest of the Missiones and consist of 275 falls, some reaching as high as seventy metres. Added to this is the fact that they are surrounded by the National Park, a virgin jungle protecting over four hundred species of wildlife and over two thousand flora species. It is a remarkable trip offering some of the most memorable views you are ever likely to see.

The Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro

Thanks to the efforts of American crooner, Barry Manilow, the Copacabana is something most people have heard mentioned from time to time. What they might not know is that it is one of the most famous of all the beaches in the world. Running for three miles in front of the densely populated Rio de Janeiro, the Copacabana means very different things for different people. For some it is a commercial, ultra tacky destination where they would never dream of going. For others it is the sheer craziness of the place and the people that add to its appeal. But, for whatever reason, it attracts hundreds of thousands of people every year and the one thing that they all agree on is that they have a good time while they are there.

The Pantanal
The Pantanal translates as ��large swamp�� and lies in the mid�Cwest of the country. While everyone has heard of the Amazon Basin, this area actually surpasses it when it comes to wildlife viewing. Home to over six hundred and fifty species of bird as well as alligators, deer, otters, emus, boa constrictors and monkeys, it is a fascinating attraction for the nature lovers among you. If you��re not partial to all things wild and wonderful, however, you might be better off heading to the beach because they simply cannot be avoided in this unique wilderness.

my personal favourite is rio, as it opened my eyes culturally (as well as the CARNIVAL) and is a completely different world to the one which we live in . trust me man :)

hope this helps, have a fun trip.

Sao Paulo

The Carnaval is in February next year (not sure of the dates) so go to Rio for that. You can also visit the Corcovado _ Sugarloaf too when you are there.

For nature I would visit the Amazon or Atlantic Forests _ also Foz De Igaucu in the South West of the country.

For a laid back attitude go to Salvador da Bahia.

First of all, Brasil is a country the size of the 48 contiguous United States. That_s a LOT of country! You need to decide what part of the country you want to go to, such as the capital, Brasilia, in central Brasil, the beaches around Rio de Janiero, the Amazonas region, or farther south to some of the lesser known areas. Personally, I went to Sao Paulo, Santo Andre, and then traveled to the states of Parana and Santa Caterina to visit family. The buses there are cheap, so getting around costs you about $40US a day. Since I satyed with family all the time, I really don_t have any idea of what hotels and such cost, but with the exchange rate, you will probably be pleasantly surprised.
Many tourists think that the best time to go to Brasil is during Carnivale (Mardi Gras) in late winter/early spring. Rio has some great parties! Since the seasons are reversed in the southern hemishphere, the weather is lovely! Be careful if you do go at that time. Robbery is common, so don_t wear flashy clothing or expensive jewelry when you_re out and about.

We got a good deal on tickets for the off-season in October, but plan ahead a year, and you can get some amazing deals!

Good luck, and don_t forget that you_ll need a passport, and a visa from the Brasilian Embassy.

Mostly it depends on what you want here. If you like nice beaches go Northeast, Rio de Janeiro. If you like business city go to Sao Paulo, if you like some local tradition you can try south states, basic they ware populated by europeans, they kept several tradions, what it is actually very nice. If you like nature go on central or north states, where you will find rainforest.
Temperature is warm anytime, worse case scenario will be south on winter, very small amount of snow sometimes.
