Where is it?

Brazil occupies almost half of South America and borders ten countries. It is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, with more than 7,000 kilometres of coastline. Thanks to its immense size, each region offers completely different landscapes, climates and traditions.

What to see

Brazil is a land of incredible contrasts. Rio de Janeiro fascinates visitors with Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain and its famous beaches, while Iguaçu Falls is one of the most impressive natural wonders on the planet. The Amazon Rainforest is home to unique biodiversity, while cities such as Salvador de Bahia and Ouro Preto reveal the country’s colonial history.

In our articles, we describe the places we have personally visited, together with photographs and useful travel information.

Each Brazilian city has its own unique identity. Rio de Janeiro is famous for its spectacular views, São Paulo for its lively cultural life, while other destinations reveal the historical heritage, local traditions and extraordinary variety of Brazil. In this section you will find all the cities featured on Miranda Loves Travelling, with monuments, attractions and our travel impressions.

Nature and landscapes

Brazil is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth. Rainforests, tropical beaches, waterfalls, mountains, wetlands and national parks offer spectacular scenery. Each region provides different experiences, making Brazil an ideal destination for nature lovers.

The Amazon

The Amazon Rainforest is one of the greatest natural treasures in the world. Immense rivers, extraordinary wildlife and lush vegetation make the Amazon one of the most exciting experiences to enjoy during a trip to Brazil.

When to visit

Brazil can be visited throughout the year, but the best time depends on the region you want to explore.

Spring

Spring offers pleasant temperatures and is a good time to visit many areas of the country.

Summer

Summer coincides with the high season, Carnival and some of the best conditions for enjoying Brazil’s beaches.

Autumn

Autumn is ideal for visiting many destinations with generally milder weather and fewer crowds.

Winter

Winter is perfect for exploring some tropical regions and visiting cities and natural parks with more comfortable temperatures.

How to get there

Brazil is connected with Europe, North America and the rest of South America through numerous international flights, mainly to São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Brasília. Considering the vast size of the country, domestic flights are often necessary.

Getting around

Travelling around requires careful planning. Domestic flights are the fastest way to cover long distances, while buses and rental cars make it possible to reach many tourist destinations.

Traditional food

Brazilian cuisine is the result of Indigenous, African and European influences. Among the most famous specialities are feijoada, churrasco, moqueca, pão de queijo and many tropical fruit juices. Each region offers different recipes and flavours.

During our travels we tried different restaurants and local specialities, which we describe in the dedicated articles.
