The fifth-biggest country in the world and the largest in South America, Brazil is the glittering jewel in the continent’s crown. This place boasts more than 4,600 miles of beautiful coastline, incredible beauty spots and some of the most exciting cities on the planet. So whether you’re partying at the largest carnival on Earth or exploring the world’s most remarkable rainforest, Brazil holidays serve up all manner of activities.

This place has so much to offer that you’ll be in awe of its size and diversity. The biggest Portuguese-speaking country in the world – and the only one in the Americas – Brazil is as unique as its top attractions. City-lovers can immerse themselves in pulsating Rio de Janeiro, where you can see some of Brazil’s famous landmarks like Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain and Copacabana Beach. Plus, if you plan your trip for February or March, you can experience the iconic Rio de Janeiro Carnival. Prefer to take the road less travelled? Make tracks for Sao Paulo, where you can marvel at gothic cathedrals and soaring skyscrapers. Or discover picturesque cobbled streets and colourful architecture in Salvador. 

While the cities are undoubtedly glorious, Brazil holidays also give you the opportunity to see some staggering natural wonders. Around two-thirds of the country is covered by the enthralling Amazon Rainforest – so why not release your inner explorer? You can enjoy a guided trek through the lush jungle to spot toucans, monkeys and jaguars, or go on a river safari in search of river dolphins. And no trip to Brazil would be complete without visiting Iguazu Falls. Straddling the border between Brazil and Argentina, this UNESCO-listed site is made up of 275 waterfalls – all cascading about 39,000 gallons of water every second.

When you fancy some downtime, Brazil’s got that covered too. You’ll have more than 2,000 sugar-white beaches to choose from, ranging from popular Ipanema Beach in Rio to the surfing hotspot of Ubatuba, near Sao Paulo. Unroll your towel on the powdery sands, grab an ice-cold acaí slushy from a local stall, and soak up the sunshine. Or you could hop in a kayak and admire Brazil’s dramatic landscape from the ocean.
