These are some of our favorite places in Brazil. You can read our stories and browse through our photo galleries, enjoy the scenery and fine examples of Brazilian colonial architecture, crafts, etc. I've created a book (see above) about my visit to the Serra da Capivara National Park to see the prehistoric wall and cave paintings. Absolutely extraordinary!
Most of these pages offer suggestions on where to shop and eat, but since things change all the time, that's exactly what they are, just ideas...For tips on making the most of your stay in Rio de Janeiro, please visit our Little Black Book.
The answer to "Where Are You?" is Porto Alegre, more specifically the old downtown area, where you'll find architectural gems such as the Hotel Majestic building.
If you decide that it's time for some rest and relaxation or that long-awaited adventure, and would like to explore any of the destinations below, Férias Brasil has a guide to hotels and inns ranging from the charming and romantic to the highly sophisticated (Portuguese only).
You may wish to pay these guys a visit online: Ecobrasil. And to choose a pousada or inn, here's a suggestion from a friend in Brazil: Hidden Pousadas Brazil.
