Here you found the wildlife, waterfalls, rivers and the unforgettable white sand beaches and dense forests. The capital city is Brasilia. This country is full of nature. Approximately more than one third of the population is Roman Catholic. Local language is Portuguese.
Brief History:
Brazil has the largest population in Latin America. The industrial cities has the most population of the country named Sao Paulo, Rio De Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte.
The Portuguese colonized Brazil in the 16th century. African brought to Brazil as slaves, Middle Eastern, and Japanese who settled in Brazil in the mid 19th century. Brazil prides itself on being open ti all races.
Pedro Alvares Cabral claimed Brazil for Portugal in 1500. The colony was ruled by Lisbon until 1808, when Dom Joao VI and the rest of the Portuguese royal family fled from Napoleon’s army, and established its seat of government in Rio de Janeiro. Dom Joao VI returned to Portugal in 1821. His son declared Brazil’s independence on September 7, 1822, and became emperor with the title of Dom Pedro I. His son, Dom Pedro II, ruled from 1831 to 1889, when a federal republic was established in a coup led by Deodoro DA Fonseca, Marshal of the Army. Slavery had been abolished a year earlier by the Princess Regent Isabel while Dom Pedro II was in Europe.
Places to watch:Brazil have the Hills, Rivers, Forests, Waterfalls, Wild life, Beaches. This is country where you find the places you want. Some of them I discuss as under,
SAO PAULO – MUSEUM:
São Paulo has excellent art and historical museums. This is located on a totally recovered building from 1905. Museu de Arte Sacra (Sacred Art Museum) has religious pictures and objects, the most ancient from sixteenth century, within a collection of over four thousand pieces. These are only a few within several places destined to culture in the city.
Wildlife:
Brazil’s luxurious sub-tropical rainforests constitute one of South America’s finest areas for seeing mammals such as Little and Red Brocket Deer, South American Coati, White-eared Opossum, and a sub-species of the Brown Cappuccino. Also occurring but harder to see are Jaguar, Ocelot, Jaguarundi, Puma, Margy, White-lipped Peccary, Bush Dog and Southern River Otter. The endangered Taegu Lizard is common, and the number of butterflies one can see is astounding.
The two parks are a top bird watching destination as well.
Five members of the toucan family are regularly seen: Toco and Red-breasted Toucans, Chestnut-eared Araçari, Saffron and Spot-billed Toucanets. Other exciting bird possibilities include Spotted Bamboowren, Grey-bellied Spinetail, several ant shrikes, Short-tailed Ant thrush, and others in the bamboo stands. Forest possibilities include Rufous-thighed Kite, Black-and-White Hawk-Eagle, Black-fronted Piping-Guan, Blue Ground Dove, Dark-billed Cuckoo, Black-capped Screech-Owl, the nattereri race of Short-tailed Nighthawk, Great Dusky Swift by the thousands as they dart in and out of the falls or perch on the rock walls, Surucua Trogon, Chestnut-eared Araçari, Rufus-winged Ant wren, Black-crowned Tityra, Red-ruffed Fruit crow, White-winged Swallow, Plush-crested Jay, Cream-bellied Gnat catcher, Black-goggled and Magpie Tanagers, Green-chinned Euphoria, Black-throated and Ultramarine Grosbeaks, Yellow-billed Cardinal, Red-crested Finch and many more. In the evenings we’ll spotlight for deer, Agouti and other mammals that come out of the forest to feed at night, and have a spot for the magnificent Rusty-barred Owl.
CARNIVAL:
To visit the city in the Carnival period and to watch to so called “the biggest show in the planet”, the parade of the samba schools in the “Sambódromo”. It’s a spectacle with colors, music and unforgettable and involving rhythm. Once you join them you will surely have wonderful time and unforgettable memories.
SALVADOR – FOLCLORIC BALLETS:
In the square of Jorge Amado museum, near a beautiful church there is a foundation to learn a job to young ‘not rich’ boys and girls: they can learn Brazilian cooking, became waiters or learn about music and traditional dancing, so every night you can taste in a good ‘all you can eat’ restaurant a lot of Brazilian dishes made by themselves and see a beautiful show about ‘orishas’ of candomblè, capoeira and the slavery history.
IGUASSU FALLS – THE AMAZON FORESTS:
This magnificent array of waterfalls is located in Southern Brazil in the state of Paraná on the border between Argentina and Brazil. They stretch for 2.5 miles plunging 269 feet (82m) into Iguaçu River. They are absolutely “fantastic.” Numerous rocky and wooded islands on the edge of the escarpment over which the Iguaçu River plunges divide the falls into some 275 separate waterfalls or cataracts. The name of the falls comes from the Guarani Indian word meaning “great water.” In 1986 Iguassu Falls were declared a Natural Heritage of Mankind by UNESCO. Perhaps the largest remaining area of Atlantic forest is not on the coast but inland at Iguassu Falls. The national parks on the Brazilian and Argentine side of the mighty Iguassu River and Falls total over 550,000 acres of sub-tropical rain forest.
Brazilian people loves music, dance and sports. They have great history, good present and bright future ahead. You will definitely like your stay there. Wish you peaceful life. Take care have a nice day. Specially as you giving your precious time for visiting my site thank you so much. Best wishes
