Brazil is generally known
for its colorful culture and beautiful beaches, where Brazilians gather
to soak up the sun and party until dawn. If you are looking for a relaxed
and hassle free vacation where your only worry is to decide which beach
to go to in the morning, Brazil is the perfect destination. In the southeast
of the country, you will find gorgeous beaches and laid back towns where
it is a pleasure to spend a carefree holiday. Read this guide to the best
beaches in the region to help you plan your exciting vacation.
| A lovely beach resort, Buzios
is conveniently located next to Arraial do Cabo on a peninsula which boasts
no less than 17 incredible beaches. In the past, Buzios used to be a small
fishing village, but it has now been turned into a high-end resort, with
designer shops, fancy restaurants and opulent villas lining its streets.
The best beaches of Buzios are located in the south. Although less accessible,
they are also the most beautiful and great for surfing. Among the most
popular beaches, you will find Geriba and Ferradurinha, Ferradura, Praia
Olho de Boi, and Praia Brava.
If what you are seeking is
true relaxation and calm, away from the crowds of tourists and partygoers,
head out to Ilha Grande, a stunning island about 150km west off the coast
of Rio de Janeiro. |

This small tropical-like
island, home to only three settlements and covered with unspoiled beaches
and rainforest, is one of the most beautiful beach destinations in the
country, and relatively untouched by massive tourism. The island is busier
on weekends, as a favorite among locals, but still retains its quaint and
authentic charm. It can be easily reach with a 1h30 ferry-ride from Angra
dos Reis on the mainland (about 3hrs from Rio de Janeiro by bus).
Parati is a lovely coastal
town, generally very lively from Christmas to Carnival and on the weekends,
but quiet and relaxed the rest of the year, which makes it a delightful
beach destination. Boasting myriad jutting peninsulas and secluded beaches,
Parati is beautifully set against mountains covered by the jungle, overlooking
hundreds of islands and their crystal clear waters. Around Parati lie 65
islands and 300 beaches. If you really want to get away from it all, rent
a small motorboat at the port and the skipper will take you wherever you
want, to the most secluded and beautiful beaches.

BELO
HORIZONTE FEATURED HOTELS, BRAZIL
|
|
| The best way to approach
Belo Horizonte is from the south, over the magnificent hills of the Serra
do Espinhaço, on a road that winds back and forth before finally
cresting a ridge where the entire city is set out before you. It's a spectacular
sight: Belo Horizonte sprawls in an enormous bowl surrounded by hills,
a sea of skyscrapers, favelas and industrial suburbs. From the centre,
the jagged rust-coloured skyline of the Serra do Espinhaço, which
gave the city its name, is always visible on the horizon - still being
transformed by the mines gnawing away at the "breast of iron". |

CURITIBA
FEATURED HOTELS, BRAZIL
|
|
| Founded in 1693 as a gold-mining
camp, CURITIBA was of little importance until 1853 when it was made
capital of Paraná. Since then, the city's population has steadily
risen from a few thousand, reaching 140,000 in 1940 and some 1.5 million
today. It's said that Curitiba is barely a Brazilian city at all, a view
that has some basis. The inhabitants are descendants of Polish, German,
Italian and other immigrants who settled in Curitiba and in surrounding
villages that have since been engulfed by the expanding metropolis. On
average, Curitibanos enjoy Brazil's highest standard of living: the
city boasts health, education and public transport facilities that are
the envy of other parts of the country. There are favelas, but they're
well hidden and, because of the cool, damp winters, sturdier than those
in cities to the north. |

|
| The wooden houses
of Curitiba's lower and middle classes often resemble those of frontier
homesteads and frequently betray their inhabitants' Central or Eastern
European origins, with half-hip roofs, carved window frames and elaborate
trelliswork. As elsewhere in Brazil, the rich live in mansions and luxury
condominiums, but even these are a little less ostentatious, and need fewer
security precautions, than usual. |

| MACEIO
FEATURED HOTELS, BRAZIL |
|
| Maceió is the capital
and the largest city of the coastal state Alagoas, Brazil. The name "maceió"
is of indian origin, and designates the natural spontaneously courses of
water which flow out of the soil. Most maceiós flow to the sea,
but some get trapped and form lakes ("lagoas", in Portuguese). There are
plenty of maceiós and lakes in this part of Brazil; because of this,
the city was named Maceió, and the State, Alagoas. The new Zumbi
dos Palmares International Airport connects Maceió with many Brazilian
cities and also operates some international flights. The city is home to
the Federal University of Alagoas. |

| NATAL
FEATURED HOTELS, BRAZIL |
|
| NATAL
is a medium-sized city of about 600,000 people, built on the banks of the
Rio Potengi, and founded sixty years later than planned, after the Potiguar
Indians stifled the first Portuguese landing on the coast in 1538. They
continued to hold the invaders off until 1598, when the Portuguese built
the star-shaped fort at the mouth of the river - the city's most enduring
landmark. Natal is at the heart of one of the most spectacular strings
of beaches in the Northeast: in fact, given that you could rent a beach
buggy in Genipabu, just north of Natal, and drive along 250km of dunes
uninterrupted until Areia Branca, practically on the border with Ceará,
Natal is at one end of what amounts to a single enormous beach. |
