An Inspirational Tour of Brazil
Rio de Janeiro
Rio de Janeiro is the first city that springs to mind when you think of Brazil. A city of carnival and sunshine, Rio is an essential first stop on Brazil holidays for getting a sense of Brazilian city life. Overlooking the city is Rio’s foremost landmark, the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer, with his arms stretched wide in a benevolent welcoming gesture. A day trip up Corcovado Mountain, at 700 metres, will allow you to see the city from the statue’s vantage point. The statue itself is thirty eight metres tall and not only offers Rio’s citizens its obvious Christian symbolism but is also is a figure of inspiration for all.
On the way up to Corcovado’s peak, your Brazil tour will take you through the Tijuca Forest, a National Park that is home to many threatened species of South American flora and fauna. What is unusual about the forest is that it was replanted by hand in the 1800′s to repair the damage done by clearances for coffee plantations.
Another remarkable mountain in Rio is Sugarloaf Mountain, so named because of its unusual conical shape. There is a cable car to take you to the top where you’ll be able to take some stunning photos on your Brazil holidays. Read the rest of this entry »

Or they will say that you must be rich and promise the girls material possessions. These people are inaccurate. In this short article I want to discuss what it takes to meet women in Brazil.
I’ve put together a list of some of key points you will need to know if you are planning to visit the country and are looking to experience some of the storied romance that cities like Rio de Janiero, Fortaleza, Recife, Natal, and Sau Paulo are known for.
1. You must know a little bit of Portuguese. Most girls will not speak English. While Portuguese is not necessary in initially meeting them, it is crucial for setting up plans, making phone contacts, and for having an enjoyable time with your company. You don’t need to be a master of the language by any means. You just need to know the basics. Read the rest of this entry »
