A journey through articles to explore Brazil in depth

At 230 km from Sao Luis Airport, after a 5 hour journey through the dunes, you will discover Lençois Maranhenses Park. Situated in the State of Maranhao, in the north of Brazil, this natural park with an area of 1500 km2 offers a landscape of dunes and lagoons.

It's one of the most famous routes in Brazil. From Sao Luis or Fortaleza, along the northern coast of Brazil, visitors venture on the 900km which separate the two cities, in the middle of dunes, to discover the country's most well known landscapes and beaches.

The fifth country of the world by its size, Brazil alone occupies half of the territory of South America. It is divided into 5 administrative regions with very different natural realities and landscapes that are as diverse as they are magnificent. We can roughly divide Brazil between the Amazonian north-west and a south-eastern region consisting of plateaus.

In the middle of the vast tropical, dense forest, the legendary river meanders. A river larger than any other, a source of life that travels from the Peruvian Andes to empty into the ocean at the other end of the continent. And what about you, why not take the time to navigate the Amazon River and discover its beauties and mysteries?

Quintessentially a religious land, Brazil is considered first and foremost a Catholic country. The image of a gigantic Christ overlooking the territory is an obvious witness. But the reality is much more complex and reveals a unique blend of religious beliefs, which live together, creating the charm and uniqueness of this territory of intoxicating processions and ceremonies.

Without any doubt, Brazil is not the country with the most adapted structures to welcome handicapped travellers. However it's a situation which the country has been trying to resolve for several years due to the setting up of a national mobility programme. With the right information it is definitely possible to spend wonderful holidays in Brazil.

It's hard not to fall in love with a destination as rich and endearing as Brazil. Dreamy beaches, electrifying cities and a majestic, varied nature. Does that not sound like the description of a perfect honeymoon?

Sao Paulo is the giant and expansive economic capital of Brazil. Rather than tiring yourself out by going from museum to museum in the city centre, it would be better to observe the local's habits and keep up with them. Sao Paulo is full of surprises!

From the sandy beaches in the east with the raging sea, an untouched coast to the west with calm waters, quiet streets, little shops and a widepsread sense of safety everywhere: Welcome to Ilha Catarina and Florianopolis!

When it's time to head home from Brazil, I always take back Havaianas flip flops, which cost must less along with sarongs. I give our friends colorful costume jewelry and treat them to caïpirinhas, made from my supply of cachaça. To be downed to the rythym of Brazilian music of course!
