What our travelers think about their stay

Seasoned Traveller

São Paulo, the economic lungs of Brazil, also has some pleasant surprises in store for tourists. Food lovers, visitors interested in culture and architecture will be seduced by this 'Pauliste' city.

My suggestion

To appreciate the immensity of the metropolis, go to the top floor of the Martinelli Building or, if money's not a problem, charter a helicopter.

My suggestion

Fully absorb the city's atmosphere as you stroll along its palm-lined avenues. As far as possible, avoid getting bogged down in the traffic that chokes the city. Use the subway to get around instead. You'll save both time and energy.

Eva Martin

Seasoned Traveller

The largest metropolis in South America, situated in south-east Brazil and the economic capital of the country.

My suggestion

If you have the time, head out of town to little known, yet beautiful, beaches that are within a reasonable traveling distance. I particularly recommend Ubatuba Beach, but bear in mind it'll take you two hours to get there.

Brazil: our articles for your vacation

Trip on the Cocoa Route

Between Itacaré in the north and Canavieras in the south of the State of Bahia, the Cocoa Route is becoming one of the must-see locations for those travelling to Brazil. On the 180km that separate the two cities, visitors will discover large farms where the manufacture of chocolate chips is at the heart of the activity, mangroves and a primary forest, "Mata Atlantica".

Discover Recife and its surroundings

The fifth city of Brazil, situated in the north-east of the country, is generally forgotten by tourists. Despite a reputation that is sometimes a little rough, the city which unites large avenues, tall buildings and old colonial buildings, has something to charm you. In the surroundings, the city of Olinda and the beaches of Porto das Galinhas are much more popular among tourists.

Salvador de Bahia, immersion in the Bay of All Saints

Although the reputation of the Rio carnival may have faded, it's not the only city in Brazil that knows how to party. The proof is in Salvador de Bahia, the capital of Nordeste where rumba rings in every street corner.

Belem de Para, gate with entry towards the Amazonia

Second city in the North of Brazil with over 1.4 million inhabitants, Belem de Para is an industrial port situated on the Amazon river 100km from the Atlantic Ocean. First town colonised on the Amazon, the town is full of traces of its colonial past.
