When planning a Brazil vacation there are certain sites that you absolutely do not want to miss.

Rio de Janeiro used to be the capital of Brazil. It is home to some of the liveliest events of the year including the famous Rio Carnival each February. It has both beaches and mountains to offer its residents combining to form a unique and amazing landscape. Christ the Redeemer was named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and is a landmark of this important city.
Buzios is an exciting Brazil travel destination, with a small population but cultural significance as the peninsula was famous for pirating and slave trading. In Buzios there are 25 beaches nearby and with the vibrant nightlife, you don't want to skip this town, with its delicious seafood and surfable waves.
No Brazil package is complete without a visit to Iguazu Falls, considered the most magnificent falls in the world, higher than Niagara and with more water than Victoria. A proper visit to the falls will include seeing the complete perspective from the Brazil side and also the Argentina side.
Salvador de Bahia, Brazil's third largest city after Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, is a cultural capital with vibrant music and delicious Brazilian cuisine. You defiantly can't miss what is known as Brazil's 'capital of happiness' where there are opportunities to see Capoeira and dance Samba knocking on your door every night.
