Most people think of rainforests, tropical beauty and the Carnival when Brazil comes to mind. It's a fascinating and mysterious country, with a lot to offer visitors. Some of the best include warm people and luscious natural beauty. Brazil has many social problems in its urban environments. It's not the destination of choice for many, but for those who do visit, they never forget the experience.

The population consists of about 175 million Portuguese speaking people. Sometimes this figure is surprising since we tend to think of Brazil as being primarily rain forests. Sadly, although there are still areas of untouched rain forests, much of it is being clear-cut. Some of this natural beauty is destroyed everyday.

Brazil like any developing country faces the problem of poverty. Despite this, it still is a perfect destination to be visited. Certain areas in Rio de Janeiro are better left out of your itinerary. You must know where to stay and where not to. Be aware of the current atmosphere of the places where you are staying in and avoid places that are unsafe.

Brazil is famous for the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean where water sports are the main attraction. Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro is the most well known beach in Brazil. The beach is flooded with people who wear almost nothing which does not qualify it as the best family destination, but you will have fun watching people all the same.

Rio de Janeiro is a fascinating and beautiful city that is worth a visit. The skyline is dotted with islands and mountains, making Rio simply stunning. The sugar loaf mountain and statue of Christ the Redeemer are must sees while visiting. Rio's people are full of energy and enjoy partying until the wee hours of the morning. If you are lucky enough to visit during Carnaval, you'll also be lucky if you get more than a few hours of sleep.

A trip to the Amazon forests will certainly be memorable. You can see a lot of different species of birds and plants, which you had never seen before. You will also get a chance to see many abandoned villages which were once inhabited by the Indian tribes along the river. They have now moved still deeper into the Amazon.

If you want more fun, then visit Jericoacoara. Jericoacoara is slowly attracting tourists who are mostly back packers. This fishing village offers one of the best wind surfing opportunities. If you wanted to get yourself relieved of the hectic life of the city, then this place offers a calm and graceful environment for you to relax.

If you are traveling by air then the largest airport in Brazil is Rio. But depending on where you are flying from, you can choose the city you wish to land at. To visit different parts of Brazil, air travel is the best option as Brazil is a big country. Air travel is very costly and the next best option is to take a bus ride which allows you to enjoy the wonderful surrounding while traveling.

Brazil is a wonderful country filled with wonderful people. While it has had its problems in the past, many people still flock to the balmy temperatures and fun loving atmosphere that the Brazilian people have cultivated.
