Get close to Nature

THE PANTANAL is an open swampland larger than France that extends deep into the states of Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. Moreover, the Pantanal is an area where you can find more of the wild and natural life. In fact, you see so many birds and animals that you start to think you’re in a well-stocked wildlife park, due to researches there are in fact 124 wild mammal species, 177 reptile species and a further 41 amphibian species in these swamps.

I have been there once with my whole family and I considered one of the most amazing landscapes I have ever been. There I had the opportunity to be close to animals and nature and really understand their habitat.

The Caiman Ecologic Refuge is a nice hotel to stay. While being located in the middle of the swamp, the hotel was the pioneer in creating the ecological project, this shows how prepared and equipped the hotel is. These services are rendered by the “caimaners”, bi-lingual university-level guides specialized in the flora and fauna in Pantanal. It is a trip that will never be forgotten!

WHY BRAZIL ?

Known as the most festive and tropical country in the whole world, Brazil is considered a pleasant place for everyone to visit. The Carnival and its white sandy beaches is the front door to step into this amazing place. Only a few countries can be compared to Brazil, its fauna, beauty and vast variety of plants are most amazing to the eyes of all foreigners.

There’s possibly no one on earth who hasn’t heard about the Carnival, Samba, the Amazon, Rio de Janeiro, the paradise beaches among many other wonders included in Brazil.For instance, Rio de Janeiro,one of the known cities in Brazil, is known as the “Cidade Maravilhosa”which mean the Marvelous City in Portuguese, the local language. The people who live in Rio are known as “the Cariocas”.Thus, the “Carioca city”owns one of the most, if not the most, beautiful landscapes. In the month of February the famous Carnival parade takes place in Rio and it is broadcasted around the world. In it people parade in colorful, fancy outfits and beautiful women show off all their charm while dancing to the rhythm of the Samba.Carnival lasts for a week and the “Escolas de Samba”, Samba schools, compete against each other with all their hearts to see which one becomes the champion of the year.

As one can see, Carnival in Brazil is a fever which reaches all levels of the Brazilian society and it does not only take place in Rio de Janeiro but all over the country, in particular in the northern states.For example the state of Bahia is considered the second hottest place to be during Carnival. Famous Brazilian singers attend private parties and sing on what is called “Trio Eletricos”which are mobile stages placed on top of trucks thus allowing shows to move all around the city with people singing and dancing as they move along. Indeed it is a great sight to see!!!

The second reason why most foreigner tourists go to Brazil is due to its cheap leaving cost (the local currency, the Real, is not worth much compared to other strong foreign currencies) and since there is more than 7000 Km of beautiful beaches stretching along its coast, this country is the place to be! To mention a few of its wonderful beaches one can mention :Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, Joaquina in the South, Praia do forte in the North of Bahia and the group of islands called Fernando de Noronha known as a perfect place to dive!

On the other hand, there is Sao Paulo a metropolitan city and like all the big cities in the world, you can find very fancy restaurants, lively nightlife and the best stores in the country which include local and international brands. As mentioned above, the prices in Brazil are very tempting to foreign currency therefore due to all the above, one should go to Brazil and experience all the fascination awaiting for them in the biggest South American country.
