Visit Brazil and see its many wonders!
Here are some beautiful wonders of this land!
- Cristo Redentor, Rio de Janeiro
Brazil’s most famous statue, Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer), stands 28 metres tall and has outstretched arms that appear to embrace all of mankind. Standing from the top of Mount Corcovado, this statue looks over Rio de Janeiro and the bay. The monument is surrounded by a large plaza at the summit of the 709-metre peak, which is a part of the Tijuca National Park; a vast forest that guards waterfalls, springs, and a large range of tropical flora, butterflies, and birds. Within the park, a few more viewpoints become open for further sightseeing. To reach the statue, a rack train ascends to the peak over 3.5 kilometres. The 30-metre monument, which was created in 1931 by Brazilian engineer Heitor da Silva Costa and Polish-French sculptor Paul Landowski, is made of reinforced concrete and soapstone, making a durable statue to last for many decades.
- SugarLoaf, Rio de Janeiro
The Sugar Loaf, a rounded stone summit that rises 394 metres above the city and beaches, is the easily recognisable symbol of Rio de Janeiro. The excitement of riding suspended in a cable car between SugarLoaf and the Morro da Urca, a lower peak from which a second cableway links to the city, is what draws tourists to its summit, which offers views over Rio and the port.
The best time to admire the SugarLoaf is during sunrise and sunset to capture the beautiful backdrop sky with these peaks. This site is so unique that in 2012 it was officially titled a UNESCO World Heritage site.
- The Amazon Rainforest
This rainforest is the home of many wildlife, ecosystems and rivers. The dark waters of the Rio Negro and the light, muddy waters of the Rio Solimes merge around 20 kilometres south-east of Manaus; they run side by side for about 6 kilometres before combining to form the infamous Amazon River. This location, known as Encontro das Aguas, or the meeting of the waters, is reachable by boat from Manaus. Other boat excursions take you deep into the jungles and the system of rivers, canals, and lakes that the three rivers have created. The Anavilhanas Islands, an archipelago in the Rio Negro with lakes, streams, and flooded woods, provide a complete representation of the Amazonian ecology. On a boat tour here, you may view monkeys, sloths, parrots, toucans, caimans, turtles, and other species.
- The Iguaçu Falls
The Iguaçu River thunders down into the canyon below in a crescent shape of 247 waterfalls along the border of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. You’ll never be able to see all of the falls at once because some of them are over 100 metres high and span such a large region, but the Brazilian side offers the most expansive view. You can see the formations from various angles thanks to catwalks, a tower, and a bridge that extends all the way to the Garganta do Diabo (Devil’s Throat), one of the biggest. The Iguaçu National Park, which has won praise from UNESCO, is home to subtropical rainforests and more than 1,000 different species of birds and animals.
- Porto de Galinhas, Pernambuco
One of the 187 kilometres of stunning beaches in Pernambuco is Porto de Galinhas. Porto de Galinhas is commonly referred to as “Brazil’s Best Beach” due to its clear seas, towering palm palms, and vast lengths of silver sand, to name a few factors. The beachside community is relaxed, vibrant, and a perfect combination of upscale shopping and classic beach town entertainment. In contrast to high-rise buildings, its hotels and resorts are situated close to the ground. You may kayak in the lagoons and estuary, take a boat to a lagoon where small seahorses swim, go scuba diving to discover amazing coral reefs or shipwrecks, or purchase a whimsical kite from a beach shop to fly in the consistent wind.
