Gastronomy
The traditional food of Brazil is a combination of many different cultural inheritances that have mixed and created a very interesting and unique cuisine. Brazilian cuisine is not only historic, but also varied and tasty. Some dishes and recipes are exclusive to certain regions, while other types of food are quite traditional all over the country. If you love trying new flavours, Brazil is the perfect destination for you.

Beaches
Brazil is blessed with a coastline that stretches for more than 7,000 kilometres, and that translates into beautiful beaches all over the country. In each of them, you will be able to experience the sun, energy, beauty, and joy of Brazilians. If your dream trip involves sunshine, beaches, and having your feet in the sand, Brazil has countless options for you.

Rio Carnival
The Rio de Janeiro Carnival is both a national and international icon (the first one took place in 1840!) In February or early March, samba troops and schools process and compete with rhythm, music, and wild dancing. A true festival of colour and a magical and memorable experience. If you are lucky enough to be going to Brazil during this period, don't hesitate to see the carnival!
