About country

From the jungle calls of the Amazon to the curves of Copacabana’s thong-clad crowds, Brazil is a heady celebration of the big, the bold and the beautiful. Brazil’s vast coastline is fringed with sandy beaches and island getaways, while buzzing Rio de Janeiro and stylish São Paulo offer nightlife and culture galore – as well as an annual dose of Carnival fever. With the World Cup due to take over Brazilian stadia in 2014, and the Olympics coming to Rio in 2016, the largest country in South America is gearing up to take centre stage – and whether strolling down orderly São Paulo streets, or kicking back in the spotless coastal resort of Buzios, it seems Brazil is confidently rising to the challenge. Prices are steadily increasing, so even the simplest Brazilian holidays don’t come cheap. Crime does happen, especially in the cities, but those who keep their wits about them and avoid certain areas are highly likely to have an incident-free trip.

 

Sightseeing

See Oscar Niemeyer's futuristic vision in the capital Brasília. Often overlooked by visitors, the city was designed by the renowned architect, and many of his creations, including the city's cathedral and the national congress, are now UNESCO World Heritage sites. The world's largest rainforest contains one-third of all the living species on earth and is crossed by 10 of the world's 20 largest rivers, including the Amazon River. The usual base for trips is Manaus. Watch a game of football in Rio's Maracanã Stadium, which was the largest stadium in the world when it was built. Football is a national obsession and matches are colourful and noisy affairs. Dive into the deep blue waters of coastal Brazil. Diving is popular in the protected marine park on the island of Fernando de Noronha. The coast off Angra dos Reis in Rio de Janeiro state is littered with 300 islands ripe for underwater exploration.

 

Traditions

Brazil's core culture is derived from its colonizer, the Portuguese, who introduced to the country its language, religion (Catholic), and architecture. African, European and indigenous cultures later helped mold the Portuguese's influence to Brazil. This can be seen in Brazil's wide array of art, literature, cuisine, music, religion, and dances. Brazil's music styles include bossa nova, samba, forró, and pagoda, among many others. Brazilian cinema is also strong in the country, but the people are better known for the festivals or Carnival, which is marked by spectacular street dances, colorful parades, and vivacious non-stop music. Apart from the Carnival which is usually held at the beginning of Lent, there are many other festivals per region.

 

Cuisine

Brazilian cuisine varies per region, but is generally a mix of Amerindian, Portuguese, Italian, African, Spanish, German, Polish, Syrian, Lebanese and Japanese, among others. Brazil's national dish is Feijoada or meat and bean stew, the country's take on the French cassoulet. The North's dishes are heavily influenced by indigenous roots. Primarily, the recipes center on fish and seafood. The most typical are Pato no Tucupi (Duck in tucupi or cassava yellow broth) and the street food Tacacá or tacacazeira (spiced tucupi with shrimp). In the Northeast, the food is African and Afro-Bahian. White rice and black beans are the staple food. The recipes generally include palm oil, cashew nuts and citrus fruits. In the Southeast, African, European, Middle Eastern and Asian influences can be gleaned in popular dishes like feijao com arroz or rice and beans, pizza and sushi. In the South, the gauchos (cowboys) contributed dishes such as sun or salt-dried meats and churrasco or Brazilian barbecue.
