Travel Destinations in Brazil

Brazil is the largest country in South America, occupying nearly half of the continent. It is almost entirely in the Southern Hemisphere, and much of it is tropical, with vast stretches of rainforest teeming with exotic plants and wildlife.

Brazil’s Atlantic coast has 7,400 kilometres of golden sand beaches, and its interior is rich in mineral resources. The churches of Portugal, the colonial power that ruled Brazil until 1822, are still adorned with gold from Brazil’s mines. This strong Portuguese influence can be seen in Brazil’s colonial architecture, decorative arts such as glazed tiles in churches and convents, and language.

Brazil is a tropical paradise and an exciting cultural destination for tourists, with attractions to suit all tastes, from idyllic beach vacations and jungle explorations to world-class art museums and the pulsing rhythms of Rio’s Carnival. The guys over at Exponential Construction Corp. recommend these next places specifically to travel to!

1. Rio de Janeiro

Rio de Janeiro is the most vibrant and exciting City on the planet. Rio de Janeiro, located in southeastern Brazil, is the most visited City in South America due to its famous mountains, beaches, and Carnival festival.

Rio de Janeiro is located in one of the world’s largest harbors, surrounded by natural wonders such as the Sugarloaf and Corcovado mountains and famous beaches such as Copacabana and Ipanema. Tijuca National Park, one of the world’s largest urban forests, is located within this sprawling metropolis and is teeming with native flora and fauna.

The massive Christ the Redeemer statue atop Corcovado mountain is the City’s most recognizable landmark. Colonial fortresses, former presidential palaces, and Maracana Stadium, one of the world’s largest football stadiums, are also important landmarks.

Unfortunately, most people associate Rio with crime and favelas. Favelas are areas of low-quality housing, slums that are typically located on the City’s many mountain slopes and are juxtaposed with middle-class neighborhoods.

2. Iguaçu Falls

The Iguaçu river drops spectacularly in a semicircle of 247 waterfalls that thunder down into the gorge below at the point where Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina meet. The river is narrowed to one-fourth of its normal width just above the falls, increasing the force of the water.

Some of the falls are more than 100 meters high and cover such a large area that you’ll never see them all at once, but the Brazilian side offers the best view. Catwalks and a tower provide different perspectives, and one bridge extends to the Garganta do Diabo (Devil’s Throat).

Cross to the Argentine side for better views from catwalks extending deeper into the falls’ heart. Because the two sides provide different perspectives and views, most tourists plan to visit both.

The UNESCO-listed Iguaçu National Park protects the falls, which is home to over 1,000 bird and mammal species, including deer, otters, ocelots, and capybaras.

3. Salvador

Salvador has become one of Brazil’s top tourist destinations thanks to its historic Old City, beautiful beaches, vibrant culture, and one of the world’s largest Carnival celebrations. Salvador, Brazil’s third largest City and the state capital of Bahia, is one of the oldest cities in the Americas.

Salvador, a former major center of the sugar and enslaved person trade, still bears traces of its history in its Old City, which features colonial architecture, stunning churches, and plazas where important events once took place. Many restaurants, bars, art galleries, and handicraft shops can also be found in the old quarter. In contrast, Salvador’s New City district is home to all of the City’s modern developments, including shopping malls, entertainment venues, golf courses, and residential neighborhoods.

Salvador, located on the Bay of All Saints coast, has beautiful beaches ideal for sunbathing, swimming, and surfing. Porto de Barra, Flamengo, and Stella Maris are among the most popular.

4. Ipanema

Beyond Copacabana’s beaches, the glorious white sands merge into the equally famous beaches of Ipanema. The same wave design that separates the sand from the line of hotels, restaurants, cafés, art galleries, and cinemas that make this a popular social zone year-round continues here.

The beaches of Leblon are located further along, beyond the Jardim de Alá Canal, which drains the lagoon of Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. These beaches are popular with families because there are fewer tourists and more locals. On Sundays, there is an antique market at Praça de Quentaland and the Feira de Artesanato de Ipanema, alive with music, art, handicrafts, and street food.

The waves at Ipanema and Leblon can be very strong and unpredictable, so swim with caution. Follow the crowds and stay out of areas where no one else is swimming. If you’re looking for surf, head to the stretch between Copacabana and Ipanema, where the surfers congregate.

5. Amazon Rainforests

The dark Rio Negro waters meet the yellow muddy waters of the Rio Solimes about 20 kilometers southeast of Manaus, flowing side by side for about six kilometers before merging as the Amazon. Boat trips from Manaus take you to this point, which is known as Encontro das Aguas, or the meeting of the waters.

Other boat trips take you deep into the rainforests and the three rivers’ networks of rivers, channels, and lakes. The Anavilhanas Islands in the Rio Negro form an archipelago with lakes, streams, and flooded forests that provide a complete cross-section of the Amazonian ecosystem.

On a boat trip here, you can see monkeys, sloths, parrots, toucans, caimans, turtles, and other wildlife. The 688-hectare Janauari Ecological Park, which is also close to Manaus, has a variety of ecosystems that you can explore by boat along its narrow waterways.

An entire lake here is covered in giant water-lilies that can only be found in the Amazon region. While in Manaus, don’t miss the famous Teatro Amazonas, an Italian Renaissance-style opera house built to establish Manaus as South America’s cultural capital.

6. Pantanal

The Pantanal, which spans much of western Brazil and parts of Paraguay and Bolivia, is the world’s largest and most diverse tropical wetland area. The region is becoming increasingly popular for visitors due to its stunning scenery and incredible wildlife, though its remote and watery nature does pose some challenges.

During the rainy season, approximately 80% of the floodplains are submerged, making plane or boat travel the only option. It’s worth it, though, because the endless marshes and grasslands are home to various fauna and flora.

Visitors will likely see many caiman and capybara while exploring the scenic landscapes ranging from swamps and savanna to lakes, forests, and wetlands. Spotting the South American jaguar is the highlight of any trip; the Pantanal is the best place to see the elusive creature on the continent.

Experience the Wonders of Turtle Nesting on a Costa Rica Vacation

Turtles can be seen nesting on the beaches of Costa Rica’s Caribbean and Pacific coasts from February to October every year. Turtle species include the Green Turtle, Leatherbacks, Hawksbills, and Loggerheads, with a number of specialized tours that can take you to the nesting grounds and ensure that the turtle’s natural habitats are viewed but remain undisturbed. The nesting and egg laying process of several species of turtles including the leatherback and loggerhead is a popular tour from the shores of the Tortuguero National Park on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. This is one of those amazing spectacles that cannot be missed when visiting Costa Rica. Leatherback turtles nest along this Caribbean coast during the months of July through to October.

At Las Baulas National Park in Guanacaste on the Pacific side of Costa Rica, the laying of eggs occurs from February to June. The Loggerheads are a less common species nest in the Caribbean during the summer months.

Watching these beautiful creatures lay their eggs is mesmerizing and can only be witnessed during the night. Turtle tours can be arranged nightly through tour companies or taken with a licensed guide or park ranger. There are restrictions on cameras, video and flash which are prohibited on night turtle tours, due to turtles’ extreme sensitivity to ambient light. Tours are arranged so that the species are not disturbed during their egg laying process. This egg laying is important to the continued survival of these turtles as only one in five thousand sea turtles reach adulthood.

To see a female sea turtle is spectacular. In many cases, the female Leatherback sea turtles can range in length up to six feet and can weigh up to a ton. To see these determined animals meticulously lay their eggs is unforgettable.

Once the eggs are buried, they hatch at night as the temperature is cooler and hundreds of hatchlings follow each other to the shoreline. Once they get a fix on the water, they run down to the surf on tiny flippers that will have them paddle away when they reach the surf. Most males will live out their lives in the ocean and never come back, and there will only be the one opportunity to see the females again.

The turtle nesting experience is not to be missed when visiting Costa Rica and is a world-renowned activity that shows off the eco-friendly and pristine environment that makes this nation so special and unique.…

See the Natural Beauty of Costa Rica

Costa Rica could have been just a blip on the map; occupying just 0.03 percent of the world’s surface, this tiny Central American country makes up for in sheer natural splendor what it lacks in size. The country has incredible biodiversity, 762 miles of gorgeous coastlines, magnificent scenery, and a citizenry who prizes and protects its environment. Costa Rica’s advantageous position between the warm Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean and abundant blessings of flora and fauna are bolstered by social and political stability and an intense desire to preserve and maintain the land.

There’s no reason why you can’t have the time of your life while preserving and maintaining! Costa Rica has beaches the rest of the world envies; with nearly year-round warm water and sunshine, the beaches are as pristine as they are welcoming. The country’s Ecological Blue Flag award further ensures guests that the beaches are safe, clean, and the perfect spot for your vacation. Enjoy dazzling water, exploring coral reefs, surfing, and fishing. Hike through

mangrove forests, go for a horseback ride, and enjoy both the placid Pacific and the beautiful Caribbean on the same day.

Costa Rica boasts 20 natural parks, 8 biological reserves, 13 active volcanoes, and numerous protected areas; remember, all this is within about 51,000 square kilometers! You don’t have to be a passive observer to this beautiful country’s grandeur; you can experience it, live it. See rock and lava erupt from the Arenal Volcano; walk through the dry forests, rainforests, and cloud forest; look for manatee, crocodiles, monkeys, and other exotic beasts; bungee jump off a bridge and hurtle down towards the Colorado River; kayak through waters that are as challenging as they are beautiful. Adventure is so much more rewarding when you can do it with such a stunning backdrop.

While the beauty of Costa Rica was developed over thousands of years, it is the culture of the people that helps keep the beauty as pristine and untouched as possible. The country is incredibly diverse, with a great blend of European and indigenous influences that are reflected in everything from the architecture to the food. Their national pride shines through in their commitment to biodiversity, eco-travel, and making sure that the land they are so proud of is not left dirtied under their watch.

Visiting Costa Rica is an experience of a lifetime; one of the most beautiful, and progressive, countries in the world, its natural beauty is only rivaled by the great people you will find there.…

The Best Time of the Year to Go to Costa Rica

In the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica, there are two distinct seasons. Dry season and rainy season, which is also known as “green season”. Did you know that green season is the best time of the year to travel to Costa Rica?

If you are looking for an inexpensive vacation this summer, consider visiting Costa Rica. Due to a drop in tourism during the summer months, prices drop drastically on vacation packages during the months of May, June and July. What this means for you is that not only can you experience the natural beauty of the land of “pura vida” but you can do it for less money than you can for almost any other vacation package during the summer.

If you are worried about what “rainy season” implies, let me explain. In this region, we have six months with absolutely no rain. Everything dries up, the air is humid and hot. The roads are dusty.

For the other half of the year, we have “green season” or rainy season. When the rainy season begins (which it did just about a week ago) we start to get afternoon showers which typically last about an hour or two. The rain brings with it cooler, fresher air temperatures, all of the plants and trees begin to turn green and everything becomes lush again. It truly is one of the most beautiful times to see the beaches in Guanacaste!

The rainy season is very enjoyable for the first few months, however, the rain becomes heavier in August and September and in October it rains non stop. I would not advise a visit in October! There are resorts that cater to families, couples looking for romance, golfers, and spa lovers, and of course, they are all perfect for those of us who are just looking for a week of relaxation spent on a beautiful beach.

Some of the exciting tours that the resorts are now including in their packages (for free) are the most popular tours that the country has to offer – zip lining, day trips to visit the Arenal Volcano and hot springs resort, day trip to Rincón de la Vieja (another one of Costa Rica’s active volcanoes), Monteverde Cloud Forest and Butterfly Farm.

As a travel agent, I am excited to share this information with everyone! Being in the travel industry for over 10 years, I know that summer is the hardest time to find a vacation deal and each day I am being sent unbelievable offers from the most luxurious (and typically expensive) resorts with their low green season rates and free tour packages.…

Seoul – South Korea’s Soul

Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is by far the country’s largest city populated by over 10 million people. Moreover, it is considered the nation’s center of culture-a culture that has been cultivated for 600 years.

The plane going to Seoul will land you at the futuristic Incheon International Airport, situated 52 kilometers west of the city. Taking you to the city itself, a taxi or a bus can be your option. The latter is the best option for most travelers as it runs directly to Seoul and will cost less.

Once you are settled in, keeping in mind you have exchanged enough money into Won, it is now time to explore the city. Choose your mode of transportation-subway, bus, or taxi-that will suit your budget and your schedule, as traffic jams are common in this city. As a tourist, getting around will be quite difficult if there is a language barrier. The solution: the Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) taxis where the drivers speak English and accept US dollars if you opt to pay in that currency.

During the day:

* If you are a fan of market shopping, Insadong should be on your checklist. It is the touristiest place that boasts of its art galleries and shops, as well as traditional tea and coffee shops.

* If exploring history is your interest, go visit Gyeongbok-gung, the grandest palace of Seoul. It had been the seat of power for centuries during the time that the city was made South Korea’s capital. More historical facts and artifacts can be explored in the National Palace Museum and the National Folk Museum.

* If a fun-filled theme park is your kind of treat, Lotte World is the place to be. It is one of the world’s largest indoor amusement parks. Rides, skating rink, and parades await you. For a mellow experience, check out the folk museum to immerse yourself in ancient Korean life.

During the night:

* Hongdae, a bar district, is well known for Catchlight Club for hip hoppers, Jokerred for house music lovers, and Luxury for the karaoke singers.

* Sinchon, on the other hand, offers a calmer feel as it is more known as a shopping district. But it boasts of JJ Mahoney in Grand Hyatt Hotel where the in-crowd and the who’s who can be seen.

Whatever it is you feel like doing-shopping, sightseeing, dining, or clubbing-you will never forget that you are immersed in Seoul’s rich culture.…

Visiting Seoul, South Korea

Almost a year ago I visited the city of Seoul in South Korea for the wedding of one of my sons to a Korean girl. I had previously met most of my future daughter-in-law’s family but had never been to Korea before.

Exploring Seoul, the largest city in South Korea, was not difficult. In a city of almost twelve million, one would not expect this to be the case. The Metro system is easy to navigate and taxis are incredibly reasonable and easy to get. Most drivers however, do not speak English or it is extremely limited. But with a map of the city or an address, there was no difficulty and all seemed to be very helpful and friendly.

In one instance when I was going to the home of my future daughter-in-law, there were many apartment buildings and he drove around until he was sure he had the correct address. I appreciated that he didn’t unceremoniously dump me where he thought the address may be. Another time when I was visiting one of the many palaces, the driver pulled in so I wouldn’t have to cross the stress and pointed to where the entrance was. As a woman on my own, I did not feel uncomfortable or nervous travelling in the city by myself.

On a visit to the National Folklore Museum, while I was looking around, a young girl came up and asked if I would like her to show me around. Although there was some English on the signage, she told me more extensive background history that I would never have known otherwise.

After discovering that I was visiting the city to attend the wedding of my son to a Korean girl, she took a special interest and showed me the entire process of life from ancient times to the present. It was very useful in helping me understand Korean life and customs as well as their wedding traditions. After the tour she directed me to the next place I planned to visit which was within easy walking distance.

My next stop was the Gyeonbokgung Palace which means ‘Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven’. Construction of the original palace began in 1395 and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty. But between 1592 and 1598 it was razed by invasions of the Japanese and was not rebuilt until 1868. At this time about 500 buildings were built on the over forty hectare site. I was overwhelmed by the immenseness of the grounds and the many buildings. Planning to meet my son here, I realized the futility of ever finding him as I wandered from one building to another. We eventually met up at the entrance/exit gates where we watched the unique process of the changing of the guards ceremony.

Our next stop was Deokgung Palace which is also part of the Joseon Dynasty. The back of the building had secret passageways to the Russian Emissary which exist to this day. My son and I were able to catch the changing of the guards here as well. Each of the ceremonies are performed at scheduled times throughout the day. At both palaces the guards wear traditional clothing but the attire and the ceremonies are quite different between the two palaces.

Later, being joined by my future daughter-in-law, we made our way to Insadong Street. It is the focal point of Korean traditional culture, folk crafts and traditional clothing as well as a center for artists, craftsmen and art lovers alike. Art events and festivals are held often along this 700 meter long street and vehicles are not permitted during weekends. The shops were interesting and tea was offered for tasting at one shop which was a wonderful respite on an extremely cold winter day.…

Visiting Virginia – The Perfect Road Trip

Those believing Virginia has little more than Civil War history couldn’t be more wrong. Did you know that the “Old Dominion State” is home to one of the world’s seven natural wonders? How about the fact that the most heavily visited national park is found within this state’s borders? Still not convinced? Then you’re missing out on wondrous caves and caverns, splendid seashores and loads of natural wonders.

Consider the Shenandoah National Park – a can’t-miss – thanks in big part to the 105-mile-long (and oh so spectacular) Skyline Drive. This trip through the Blue Ridge Mountains in the north central part of the state traverses not only powerful overlooks, but through deep forests and rolling farmlands. The park itself offers more than 500 miles of hiking trails, including 100 miles of the famed Appalachian Trail. Looking for even a greater RV trip? Try a tour of the 469-mile-long Blue Ridge Parkway, which connects Shenandoah National Park to another gem, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Trivia buffs surely know that the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is another proud member of the NPS, frequently is the number one – or ranks very near the top – most visited national parks in the country.

Attractions abound below the earth’s surface in Virginia. Nearby Luray Caverns earned its landmark status as one of the largest – and most amazing – cavern systems on the East Coast. Walkers experience staggeringly high ceilings of stone columns, bright pools and stalactite formations in all directions. That chilling sound you no doubt will be hearing is coming from the world’s only Stalacpipe Organ, which is just another perk of visiting this subterranean wonder.

The town of Chincoteague on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay is known best for the wild ponies frolicking along the Assateague Island National Seashore. Of course, there’s lots of other attractions, too, including pleasing beaches, lofty dunes, lush forests and marshes for your viewing pleasure. Activities abound, including swimming, hiking, camping, biking and wildlife watching. Nearby Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge makes a case for a lengthy stopover as well, especially when one factors in the 14,000 acres in this wooded, oceanside setting. The refuge is a must stop for bird-watchers, considering that there’s no shortage of viewing opportunities for waterfowl, wading and shorebirds.…

Rules to Abide by if you want to visit Las Vegas

When traveling to Las Vegas, there are some rules and guidelines you will want to consider before and while traveling there. Las Vegas is a very unique city, unlike any other place in the world. The city breathes electricity and life, 24/7 and it is very hard not to get caught up in it. You wake up, get ready and head out to explore and experience Las Vegas, next thing you know you are checking your watch and it is 3 o’clock in the morning. Here are some good guidelines and rules for traveling to Las Vegas (specifically the Strip).

Getting Around: If the hotel room is just a place to crash, stay at Ballys, The Flamingo or the Imperial Palace. All three are very central and have some of the most reasonable room prices. If you want to stay somewhere nicer, The Bellagio, Caesars and the Venetian are central with many things to do right in their hotel.

The Strip: If you are going to more than a few casinos (each one is about a block in length), grab a taxi or take the bus, otherwise you will tire yourself out for the rest of the trip. There is also a monorail but it is pricier and only covers about 3/4 of the strip.

Casinos: Each casino is unique and has different things to offer. If you just want to head out and do some gambling or slots, hit up one of the older casinos. If you want to get dressed up, see and be seen then hit up the newer casinos like the Bellagio or Venetian. The casinos are there for gambling, not as tourist attractions, so don’t expect too much from them (except Paris and NY NY).

Nightclubs: If you truly want to enjoy the Vegas nightlife and clubs, setup VIP or bottle service at the club or clubs you want to hit. This is going to cost you several hundred per club but it gets you in the door immediately, a booth table and instant drinks. If that isn’t your scene, there are plenty of bars featuring karaoke, dueling pianos and more.…

Important Tips for your Las Vegas Trip

If you have decided to visit Las Vegas then you must not leave your home before knowing completely about its life. First of all you have to accept Vegas as one of the liveliest cities of the world with a diversity of unique but interesting activities not seen anywhere else. The name, Sin City, depicts everything about the life of Vegas. There is so much to do in Vegas that a person visiting for the first time can easily feel a bit lost if he/she is going in blind. To enjoy fully you need to split your trip days and schedule them properly.

People visiting Las Vegas for the first time are usually trapped in circles of travel guides and agents who try their best to empty the tourist’s pocket. However clever people do complete research and planning before leaving their doorstep.

If you are a casino lover and want to enjoy it peacefully then stay away from downtown casinos as they are virtually shoulder to shoulder and one cannot afford to pay more yet staying uncomfortable. All you need is to visit local websites and by reading casino reviews, knowing about entry fees and gathering over there you will easily find the one you are looking for.

Just like nightclubs, Vegas is famous for wet republics and pool parties that are in fact a daytime recreation. These pool parties are completely equipped with in-house DJs, high-priced drinks and beautiful ladies adding fire to the dance floor.

People usually face problems with residence and don’t know where to stay. If you are willing to stay in the Vegas Strip then it is recommended to research a bit and make the right decision. McCarran International Airport has many great lodging facilities nearby. For a short trip, Alexis Park Resort and Spa is an ideal place to stay. Unfortunately, you will not find gaming here however quick business and entertainment facilities are readily available. Moreover The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, a great fun place, is just a few minutes from the terminal.

Another important thing you need to care about is to cover yourself from the sun. Sun protection is essential as you would be in a desert area and dry air will absorb all wetness from your body. It is highly recommended to drink plenty of water and carry thermos or bottles for quick refreshment as huge buildings and concrete reflect heat like an oven.…
