The Rain Forest of Brazil

When you hear the name Brazil, what first comes to your mind?  Most people will say the Amazon forest and others will tell you about the carnival that is held there annually.  There is preservation of the rain forest going on but it does continue to get smaller each day.  Portuguese is the common language of Brazil and water sports are the main attraction on the Atlantic coast. 

If you want to head to the most popular beach, then Ipanema Beach is where you want to be. Sun bathers are always found here and most wear hardly anything at all. As you can imagine, for this reason it is not a beach for families with small children.  People watching is a great past-time and this is the beach for it.  A day trip will take you to the rain forest where you can find many species of birds and the amazing plant life too. 

Indian tribes once lived along the river and the abandoned villages can still be seen. Backpackers will head to Jericoacoara for a break from hectic city life and if you want to save money on your next vacation, check out Thomson discount codes for special offers on tours, hotels and great getaways.
