“COOL PLACES TO VISIT IN BRAZIL”

Ilhabela

It is the most beautiful city, in which 80% of Mata Atlantica is present. There are 36 beaches and it is a mineral water resort.There is a wide variety of flora and fauna on the island. Besides, there are 17 tracks for people to go trekking, but people have to go with a monitor, never alone!

Cachoeira do Toco

One of the most beautiful sights in Ilhabela. They started producing sugar cane, alcoholic drinks there (aguardente) in 1937 and in the 60’s they started banana cultivation. There are restaurants which serve delicious food during holidays.
The water fall is located in a farm which opens for tours to people, charging a small entrance fee to appreciate the amazing pools, falls, and showers created by nature.
You can’t miss it! It is a wonderful place.

Minas Gerais

There are many cool thinks to do in Minas Gerais, where you can learn a lot!
One of these places is a city called “Tiradentes”, where there are many restaurants and bars:
Casa Tavana – in the historical centre
Conto de Reis Steak House – in the historical centre
Conto de Reis – in the historical centre

Another stroll that you can do is a visit to “Maria Fumaça” a very famous train.

Another interesting place to visit is Congonhas city. There, you can find the workmanship of “Aleijadinho”. But, beyond the city, there are many others such as:
Ouro Preto, Mariana, Sabará, Ouro Branco, among others.
Visit these places, I am really sure that you’ll love them!

Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is a nice place to visit . Whatever you want to do, you can do in “Rio de Janeiro”.If you want to go to the beach, there are many in Rio de Janeiro, and the nicest beach in Rio de Janeiro is “Copacabana”; but if you prefer to ride a skate, to go to a disco, or to do sports, you have to go to the clubs. There are many excellent clubs there.
The most famous places to go in Rio de Janeiro are Cristo Redentor and Hard Rock Café. These places are very beautiful. You have to go to these places, they are wonderful and unforgettable!

Paraty

In Brazil there is a city called Paraty. If you like history and adventure this is your place. But if you don’t, no problem. In Paraty there are lots of parties and events for young people.
There is a beach called Saco do Mamanguá. This beach is one of the most beautiful places in the world, and it is an environmental reservation. Besides, there is a historical centre where you can see a lot of Brazil’s history. Visit it! It is a must!

Natal

Natal is a beautiful place in Rio Grande do Norte. It is the capital of Rio Grande do Norte. There are many beaches near the hotels, such as Praia do Meio, Ponta Negra, Ponta Branca. The most expensive and cool hotel is Ocean Palace Hotel. It’s a five- star hotel in a privileged location, facing the sea. In Ponta Negra, the sea is so clear and its water is very warm. In this place you can play “ski bunda” or “aero bunda”. It is so cool and funny. You also, can ride a buggy in the dunes, and visit a historical place called “Forte dos 3 Reis Magos” in Natal. If you want to buy souvenirs ,you can find a lot of handicraft work in the free market.
You have to visit Natal! Is a fantastic place to go on holidays.


Salvador

Salvador is the capital of the state of Bahia . If you haven’t been there , you don’t know what you miss ! It’s a wonderful city with historical places , museums and beaches to visit . The most interesting thing for me is the fact that you have two towns in two different levels : they are called “ Cidade Alta” and “ Cidade Baixa” .For you to go from one to the other you must take a lift , called “Elevador Lacerda”.You have a wonderful view of the city and the beaches from the lift . You must also visit the “Pelourinho”
and the “Lagoa do Abaeté”. These are some of the most wonderful places for you to visit in Salvador . There are many restaurants offering typical food , but be careful! If they ask you if you want your “acarajé” hot – a typical delicious thing which is fried,
say “no” because if you say “yes” it comes with lots of hot pepper! That’s what they mean by “hot”. Anyway just come to enjoy all the beautiful things in Salvador . You won’t regret it!

    Great!!!
    I agree with what you guys said about Minas, and you forgot to mention the delicious food they have there!!!
    Doce de leite, goiabada, and the one and only original pão de queijo that you can't find nowhere else in the world.
