Brazil is a land of such contrast and diversity that it has something to offer everyone from imaginative travellers to those seeking adventure holidays.
According to a post from plumsropey on the i-to-i Chalkboard, Brazil has its good points and bad points but such is the variation in terms of culture and landscape that it promises a thrilling break.
"Brazil is unlikely to leave you unimpressed. The positive stereotypes are true: soccer is a national obsession, women wear impossibly small bathing suits and the scenery is breathtaking," the writer said.
He added that the different regions of the country vary greatly from one another, with the northeast home to a large Afro-Brazilian community with a more languid way of life compared to the south, where there is a stronger work ethic.
A blogger named Wrightbro2 recently stated on the Me, Bob and Surly: Three Friends Bike South America that he and his friends have found Brazilian people to be very friendly and welcoming and the diversity of the population matches that of the terrain.
