Brazil is associated by many people with carnival from Rio and frenetic samba dancers! Carnival, soccer and coffee are the three most important things that people know about the biggest country of South America. Beaches in this country, from which Ipanema and Copacabana are world-famous (to nominate just two of them), are great places to spend vacations in Brazil. Actually, spending time on the beach is a way of life in Brazil. Many young and older Brazilian, called cariocas, go to the beaches to soak in the sun, take a bath in the warm waters, play soccer or volley-ball or just to socialize. Some think also that the gorgeous girls dressed only in tiny bikinis draw also a lot of guys near the ocean...
Travel deals to Brazil are plentiful. There is no travel agency without a few attractive deals to Brazil, to not mention the huge number of offers for the carnival from Rio, held every year in February. This event is so famous worldwide that some hotels and resorts in Brazil have reservations in advance for few years in the period of the carnival!
But Brazil don't means only Rio and its carnival. Tourists visiting this country are amazed by its beautiful beaches, high mountains, lush rain forests, old cities with colonial buildings and very friendly people. On the territory of this country flow the biggest river of the world, the Amazon. The more adventurous vacationers can buy travel deals that include cruises on Amazon or even walking tours in the rain forest. Still, the last ones are recommended only for the well trained holiday makers and only if they are accompanied by a local guide, otherwise vacations in Brazil can turn into nightmares!
Everywhere in the country can be found hotels where accommodation is decent, but the best hotels are located in beach resorts in Rio and other cities located at the sea. Resorts in Rio have very luxurious amenities, especially those with 4 and 5 stars on Copacabana and Ipanema, and offer many attractive deals and all inclusive packages, still tourists who are planning vacations in Brazil should book their accommodation well in advance due to the increasing popularity of this country.
