When you're talking Southern America, your tale isn't
complete without mentioning Brazil as this is base of some of the world's
metropolitan cities in the real definition of the word. With beaches and
soccer, fair cost of living and beautiful people this city promises fun and
adventure. Not forgetting to mention the yearly world famous Carnival where
millions of people dance and party their sorrows away if possible.
Lovers of
the wild will definitely have a swell time feed their hungry eyes, mind senses
with natures naked beauty at the wetlands of Pantanal and the Amazonian forest.
The architecture of the colonial historic cities are magnificent, i don't know
about you but i get thrilled and sink into thought of how the ancient men lived
in an era of no internet and gadgets, must have been really tiresome. Too many
tourist attraction in the country makes it a troop in for those who want to
have a different experience and see how the people in some other part of the
world carry on with life in any circumstance they find themselves.
Here is a COST break down of what and how you should prepare yourself to enjoy your time in Brazil
Accommodation
Like everywhere else there is the preference option. There
are lots of high brow living standard here too but the post is based on a
budget travel. Brazil has a relatively cheap accommodation system so don't
worry you won't be spending the night in the Amazon forest because of bankruptcy
reasons. A private room with moderate furnishing can cost 37BRL and above for
those your love to maintain a certain standard of living wherever they go. If
you're planning a family travel getting a budget hotel which cost between
75-120BRL will be just fine. 40-50BRL should get you nice home stay. Except you
are planning a luxurious travel, this budget should serve you right.
Transportation
Personally i love to fly as much as possible, but Brazil has
a measure of good roads except your destination is the slump of slumps lol then
buses that travel long distances. they are comfortable and economical as you
need every possible cent you can save. Some road travel could take a day or two
so ensure you check for the time and distance online before purchasing a bus
ticket. This is good so you will brace up your mind for it, i don't know about
you but i get travel fever when i travel too long a distant. Some people even
throw up but you will be just fine. If you need ease yourself or stretch you
body ensure to do that enough at the bus station or bus stop. There is a
tourist limit to steam oriented train that offers transport between Sao Jao Del
Rei and Tiradentes. Basically 7-10BRL per hour is charge for bus ticket.
Activities
There is a cruise service at the Amazon river if you want to
have a typical view of the Amazon forest. This could cost from a few hundred
dollars to thousands depending on what you want and you financial strength. As
we all know, Brazil is renowned for soccer which is held in high esteem as
their No. 1 sport activity so you find pay to watch football matches . At
Iguazu Fall, entrance to watch is about 40BRL. Football match tickets are
costed by your sitting position but generally 35BRL should sit you somewhere
comfortable with a clear view.
Savings Tip
Cut Accommodation cost- As a tourist what do you need a
whole room for anyways, I'm a talkative and i like to converse with someone or
anyone but about important stuff though... Share a room! Yes i said it, if you
really are going to keep a moderate budget and not deep hands into your
redundant trip savings then sharing a with a buddy, family or someone you trust
will save you some BRL for your road trips. Depending on where exactly you are
going to stay, a single room may cost you premium than double if you won't be
stay in a dorm. Okay maybe you don't like eating something like me when on a
long journey but at least you get to keep half the cost of a room.
Taxi Price
Most times it's better to take a bus or train of you would
be going on a long distance as they are cheaper, but if you will be taking a
taxi ensure you have an understanding about his fee. Try as much as possible
not to make it obvious it's your first time, you will make yourself vulnerable
to a lot of vice. if you have to ask questions then ask officials at the hotel
you are lodged. i will always say this, be aware of your environment by
observing even as you enjoy your adventure.
Cheap quality snacks- Coxinha are the perfect snacks to keep
you without fainting when on a long trip by bus within the country. A few Cents
will do the snacking magic.
To Do List
You should have a to do list when going anywhere
at all on vacations and adventures, things to look forward to. You will feel
more fulfilled when you get back home and look back at your to do list to see
you achieved them all. It gives somewhat worth it feeling inside before you
plan for another trip from home or your travel location. For Brazil these are
things i suggest you put on your to do list.
Salvador
This is the first city in the history of Brazil as well as
the cultural capital. In 1985 the Perlourhino colonial center was declare
UNESCO World Heritage Site, you can't possibly tour Brazil without visiting
this city as that to me would be mission incomplete. The colonial architectures
are a site to behold by yourself i tell you, visitors have always cherished the
easy going atmosphere and are happy about been there so it has been nicknamed
by a few as the "Capital of Happiness". Salvador is located on the
country's North Eastern Region.
Sao Paulo
This is the world's third largest city in the world and the
largest in the whole of South America. The music and cuisine are things to look
out for when you find yourself there.
Amazionia National Park
Again, this is another very good tourist attraction site. If
i would want to ask you anything about your trip to Brazil, the Amazonia
National Park will top my question list. The view is breath taking i must say.
There are many points of entry and you could well use a river tour to explore
into the Amazon, hiking and camping is also a good one. The Amazon is almost
half of the nation's landmass, yea... therefore your adventure would probably
not be entirely complete cause that's a large expanse of distance to cover on a
budget tour but you will be glad you did visit anyways. The Amazon cover 8% of
the earth surface but is home to 50% of it's biodiversity. Kayaking, trekking,
bird watching are awesome, you might need to keep memorable photos of your experience
so take photos to do that.
Capoeira Dance
I have always been thrilled by this dance since i was a kid,
i first watched it in a move where they dance like it's a fight but it's
actually a dance lol... I was made to understand it a war dance drawn out of
the Brazilian martial art so we can call it a dance as well as a fight tactics.
Try dancing with them, get in the groove and make long last memories from your
vacation in Brazil.
Rio Carnival
Before the Sombre Lent period, music, dancing and happiness
take over the street bring out thousands of people to celebrate the Rio
Carnival which is one of the most famous parties in the world. During the
carnival period the prices of everything triple so if you are planning a trip
with this period, i advice you make all your bookings a month or two in advance
but make sure you don't loss your mind in the fun or get careless freaky.
Futbol
How did i even get this last?? Futbol is tradition in
Brazil, it's a way of life and the most citizen would rather miss your marriage
than a futbol match lol... One of the largest stadiums in the world is located
in Brazil; it is call the Maracana Stadium which comfortably accommodates
100,000 futbol lover's.
The Pantanal
Located in Western Brazil and stretching into Paraguay and
Bolivia is the Pantanal wetlands. About 10,000 animal species lives in the wet
lands. From small wild animal to large monsters reside here so be careful not
to get out of comfort zone while adventuring into the wetlands. Don't be
scared; just don’t go to deep with direction
