Brazil is bold, beautiful and full of surprises and no matter how many times you visit, there’s always something new to discover. Of course, a little insider know-how before your first trip can help you travel smarter, stretch your budget and enjoy the country at a relaxed, Brazilian pace!
It Caters to Diverse Budgets
Brazil can suit both luxury lovers and budget travellers; it really depends on how you plan. Domestic flights can add up fast due to the country’s size, so choose routes wisely. Prices peak from December to March and during Carnival, so travelling off-season is a great option, too. Also, consider using a tour specialist, such as Ceylon Tours, for convenience, expert guidance and ideal value for money.
There’s More to See Than the Famous Highlights
Yes, Copacabana Beach and the Amazon Rainforest are iconic, but there are many more “show-stealers” in Brazil. Tourist attractions worth your additional attention include the thundering Iguazu Falls, the dramatic landscapes of Chapada Diamantina, crystal-clear lagoons in Maranhão and wild Jalapão State Park. Missed Carnival? No worries, because Semana Santa, Festa Junina and Réveillon are equally unforgettable!
Don’t Cram Everything Into One Trip
Keep in mind that Brazil is massive, and trying to see it all at once is a fast track to exhaustion. Instead, slow down and focus on one region at a time. Whether it’s the coast, rainforest or colonial towns, you will enjoy deeper experiences and fewer airport dashes. Brazil rewards travellers who take it easy, and you can always return year after year to explore new areas you haven’t been to before.
Your Taste Buds Are in for a Treat

Brazil is not only a melting pot of cultures, but cuisines as well, which you should definitely savour. Dig into the national dish, feijoada, a hearty black bean and meat (including pork) stew, feast on smoky churrasco (for BBQ lovers), enjoy cheesy pão de queijo or try seafood-rich moqueca. And in between your nightlife escapades, snack like the locals do on everything from pizza to kibbeh!
