| For a long time now, the country’s natural beauty and Carnival have made it internationally famous, bringing thousands of tourists to its shores all year long. But, there is another attraction here that one only discovers upon arrival: the Brazilian people. The Brazilian way of life is even more surprising and more enchanting than any of the scenery. Brazil is internationally known for carnival, soccer and tourist attractions such as Christ the Redeemer and the Iguaçu Falls. But, just like its people and its culture, the options for fun and entertainment in Brazil are diverse and exuberant. In the cosmopolitan Brazilian metropolises, such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador and Brasília, the visitor has broad range cultural options available, such as museums, gastronomic options of international quality, operas and symphonic orchestras. For those who insist on getting to know more about our culture, they can enjoy popular festivities that reveal much of the history, the art and the riches of the Brazilian people. There are options for all tastes: Bumba-meu-boi in the north of the country, the folkloric gaucho dances and festivals with European influences in the south of the country, and of course, the carnival of Rio de Janeiro – the greatest party on the planet. |
