Praia da Pipa
Rivaling Jericoacoara for top spot as the Northeast’s best beach destination, Praia da Pipa, or simply “Pipa”, puts up some tough competition. Majestic cliffs covered in tropical vegetation give way to pristine white sand beaches and brilliantly blue waters. Pipa, like most North Eastern beach towns,...

Ilha Grande is hard to do justice on film. The crystal waters and stunning beaches ringed by deep jungle covering rolling hills makes for some of the most spectacular terrain in Brazil. But if we can’t convince you that you need to make Ilha Grande a destination when you travel Brazil with words, we...

Salvador has great food, from the Pelourinho to the beach front, and it’s one of the best places in Brazil to eat traditional food. Feijoada is a staple here, as well a many Brazilian seafood dishes. Coming along with that, food in Salvador is often served to be shared, so if you find the portions particularly large or particularly expensive, they may very well have...

Wandering the streets of the Pelourinho, admiring the decaying colonial architecture, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time to the 16th and 17th Century! Wander some more, passing rodas de capoeira, listening to thumping African drums, and smelling the wafting odors of aracajé (bean and shrimp fritters), and you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped into a...

When visiting Iguazu we definitely recommend staying on the Argentinean side. It has a much nicer atmosphere and some great hostels to compliment one of the highlights of your Brazilian vacation.

The party starts early in Jericoacoara, and it goes all night. It’s not hard to find people in this little village and the caipirinhas flow freely! The parties often spill out on to the beach and the music will keep you going all night long. For a such a little village Jeri parties hard! A beach side nap is great for next day recovery.
