Brazil is a huge country and it depends where you are coming from or going to. Check out some of the pousadas on www.hiddenpousadasbrazil.com and just click on the area you want to see some fabulous places to stay. In August it is likely to be cool down south, but it's usually a good time to visit Rio/ Ilha Grande/Parati, or the amazing dunes and lakes in Lençois Maranhenses (near São Luis) up in the far north of the country. If you need more help, or want to know about the very confusing weather patterns in Brazil just contact me via the site.

Hey mate, don't know where you're from but brazil is huge, huuuuuge. Twice as big as western europe. I recommend you buy a lonely planet brazil, do some reading and come back with less vague questions/doubts. The list of nice places is almost endless. Just a list of places won't help much.

Hi Harold, Now we have autumn in Brazil, means its colder in the South. If y like outdoor, sports, nice cozy landscapes with the special Brazilian touch then Bahia should be your choice, specially (in your age) Itacaré and the Chapada Diamantina, both about 3000 km far away from Asunción. Y should invest at least 7 -14 days for the trip. Surf the site www.itacare.com.br for further infos. Best regards and enjoy Brazil. TOM

First of all you should go to Rio de Janeiro. Besides that if you really really want to discover a very beautiful and fun Brazil and if you like culture you should definitely go to Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Norte. Two AMAZING states in Brazil... Pernambuco cities you should visit: Recife/Olina (Very good food, you should try the local food, and also very strong culture, full of colors and flavor), beaches in Pernambuco:Porto de Galinhas (beautiful coral reefs full of fishes to swim with), Praia dos Carneiros and the rest of Pernambuco coast. The state Rio Grande do Norte you should go to Pipa, where you can find a beautiful and small village with cute restaurants and bars, and also an interesting nightlife, around this beach you can see dolphins and maybe to have a chance to swim whith them in a natural wildlife, very close from this beach you should go to Timbau do Sul where the river meets with the ocean and a place called Chapadão... around these beaches you can see pretty high cliffs which is pretty cool. I have been in those two states and the beaches I mentioned are the ones I most like. Try to avoid to be hanging cameras and wallet around, it's not so dangerous but is always good to be careful. I hope you will like my tips and if you come so, I really whish you A LOT OF FUN!!! An advice: Google the names I told you and see what it is like, so you can an idea. Good luck, Filipe Correia.

Hey Harry,

Looking over a tour guide book or doing some internet research is a great idea, Brasil is a BIG place! The fellow above gave an excellent answer; covered a lot of places and what to do in them. As for me if you are interested in Gemstones, Crystals or Crystal Carvings, Mineral Specimens, or visiting some of the most famous mines in the world; Minas Gerais Governador Valadares/Teofilo Otoni is the place to visit. If you’re into Paragliding, Hang Gliding, or Mountain Biking Valadares is one of the best places in the world for these things. We just had the World Championships of Paragliding here in February!

Answer 1 (1003 days ago)

It would depend if you can speak the language or not.
If I was you I would always start in rio de janeiro and then branch out from there!

Answer 2 (517 days ago)

I don't think telling our friend to pick up a lonely planet guide really helps much.
As a newbie to Brazil you need to start in Rio or SP , they speak the most english & are generally the best hubs to get around the rest of brazil.I would also recommend not trying to do too much, i would then(depending on the month & season) choose to go to Bahia,Florianopolis Fortaleza, Recife, personally oh & not forgetting the Amazon area if you can afford it! Its good know more or less where u wanna go , but also there are deals to be had with plane fares, so be flexible if possible.

So much depends upon your personal interests. I think Foz do Iguassu Iguassu Falls) are VERY AMAZING -- far larger and more spectacular than Niagara! And from there you can easily cross over the river to Paraguay for pretty incredible shopping immediately across the bridge or into Argentina for other flavors of excitement. But perhaps one place that would not be on your "normal" brochures is in the interior, southern Mato Grosso, The Pantanal -- an incredibly large area somewhat like the Everglades but much larger (I think about 75,000 sq.mi.). Sao Paulo, Rio, and Manaus all have many things of interest which you will never see in other countries!

If you only have some days to kill I will recommend one of the main cities: Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo. Actually Rio would be a better choise, you have nice activities right there, like tandem gliding from up near the christ of cordovado, or swimming and tanning in copacabana. From such a base, you can explore around depending on how much time you have and get a good first impression of Brasil.
