A mixture of Portuguese, Moorish, and North African recipes combined with native ingredients create a remarkable repertoire: from simple beans and rice to giant Amazonian river fish served with an abundance of tropical fruits and vegetables.  Cultural and Natural HeritageBrazilian culture is rooted in that of Portugal. The Portuguese immigration brought the Catholic faith, the language, and many traditions and customs. The Amerindian people also influenced Brazil's language and cuisine. Also the Africans, who were brought as slaves, largely influenced its music, dance, cuisine, religion, and language.  Exceptional WeatherBrazilian weather is as warm as its people. The equator runs through the north of the country, and the Tropic of Capricorn stretches across the south, near São Paulo. It is warm all year round along the northeastern regions, with temperatures around 86°F.  Multilingual, Friendly PopulationBrazilians are famous for being warm and friendly with foreign people.

From the USA and Canada, you can travel south to another hemisphere to benefit from a change in climate, from summer to winter (or vice-versa). An additional advantage is that Argentina follows a similar daylight saving time pattern, to that of North America.  Airlines ConnectionsMost international airlines offer direct services to Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. Brazil's strategic location makes excellent flight connections possible. Most international flights are overnight flights that arrive early and depart from Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo late in the evening, this way you make the most of your time. |
