List of attractions in Brazil
Short description
From its heyday until late into the night, Copacabana is overflowing with football, volleyball and bronze tan lovers. After sunset, music thunders in the nightclubs. Bars are open 24 hours a day where you can enjoy a Brazilian caipirinha made with sugarcane juice, lime, ice and cane sugar.
Cathedral of the Savior of the World
For the abundance of entertainment, apartments and penthouses, Copacabana is called the "princess of the sea". On New Year's Eve, when the sky over the Atlantic Ocean is lit up with millions of fireworks, Copacabana attracts more than 2 million tourists. Bustling, cosmopolitan Rio de Janeiro strikes with a combination of ultra-modern architecture and the poverty of slums, so-called favelas, consisting of houses clambering up the mountain slopes.
The streets of Rio are surrounded by tropical greenery, and the city botanical garden contains 7000 species of plants from all over the world. The old town is built up with buildings in the colonial style, such as customs, docks, arsenal, stock exchange, town hall, churches, the palace-museum of Emperor João VI (18th century), etc. At the top of Mount Corcovado, there is a 38-meter statue of Christ, who spread his arms in blessing gesture. The monument is surrounded by Tijuca Park, the largest urban forest in the world.

Brazilian Adventures - Visit the Indians and the Coffee Baron
One third of Brazil's area is occupied by the Amazonian jungle, home to 20% of all plant and bird species in the world.... Here you can take a cruise to the dark waters of the Rio Negro River, similar in color to the effervescent Coca-Cola, or take a canoe ride down the tributaries of the Amazon. Also available for visits are Indian villages with houses built on stilts. Excursion "Course of survival in the jungle" will make you feel like a brave Robinson, who catches bloodthirsty piranhas, hunts crocodiles and builds dwellings from palm branches. Adventure lovers will love the journey to the city of Ouro Preto ("Black Gold"), which was the hotbed of the "gold rush" in the 17th and 18th centuries. It is called “black gold” because the nuggets mined in the vicinity had this color. Today Ouro Preto is notable for its Baroque monuments. The city of Recife is often compared to Italian Venice, as it is located on the mainland and offshore islands.
Beach in Fortaleza
In the city of Petropolis, founded by the Brazilian emperor Pedro II in 1845, time seemed to have stood still: horse-drawn carriages are still found on the cobblestone streets. The colonial capital of Brazil - Salvador - is filled with old churches and monasteries. Among other things, Brazil is known throughout the world as a coffee republic. Tourists are offered excursions to historical hacienda, demonstrating the lifestyle of the 19th century coffee baron.
