Two-thirds of Brazils population lives near the coast, meaning that life is a beach for locals and tourists alike. People are the essence of the country, and while Brazil is home to a multitude of ethnic groups of varying economic status, there are some characteristics that everyone shares energy and passion. Its not all reserved for football either; Brazilians enjoy a good party whatever the circumstances.

Rio is the hottest of destinations, particularly around Carnival time. Dancers gyrate, the music beats and the summer temperature rises. Almost anything goes. Bodies of all ages, colours and sizes don the very minimum in beachwear and idle away the days on the sun-kissed Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Volleyball, swimming and people-watching are but a few of the activities in which you can indulge.

Brazils landscape is as diverse as the people who inhabit it. A rich colonial history exists, and the town of Parati is an exquisite example of eighteenth-century Portuguese architecture. The jungles and rivers of the Amazon, home to lush vegetation and exotic wildlife, incite notions of exploration amongst the intrepid, while the thundering Iguacu Falls are simply a spectacular wonder. Brazils massive assortment of people and places renders it ripe for choice.
  • Mercado Municipal
    The Mercado Municipal, with its ten-metre high roof, is São Paulo's main market. The building was opened in 1933 and is notable for its impressive architecture, particularily its enormous stained glass windows. It offers an extensive array of food and is one of the few places where out-of-season fruit is available. Although it is open most of the day, it is best to visit in the morning to catch all the action and atmosphere.
  • Ipanema Beach
    Ipanema is certainly one of the most privileged areas of Rio de Janeiro and the beach reflects that atmosphere. A lot safer than the popular Copacabana, Ipanema is very much the fashionable place to see and be seen. Trendsetting has always been a perogative for the people of this beach - it was where the dental floss bikini and topless bathing was invented.
  • SugarLoaf Mountain
    The spectacular Sugarloaf Mountain, rising 396 metres (1300ft) from the water's edge of Guanabara Bay, is one of the most popular places to visit in Rio de Janeiro. A cable car line created in the early 20th century (the third in the world) takes the effort out of the climb, offering visitors stunning views over the city, its beaches and beyond.
  • The MaracanĂ£ Stadium
    Brazil is world famous for its love of football and its outstanding football team, so it's only right that the Maracanã Stadium is a tourist attraction. Visitors can watch a match or take a guided tour of the stadium and its football museum.
  • Rua Teixeira de Melo
    Located on the Farme beach block in Ipanema (Rio's gay beach spot), Rua Teixeira de Melo is the city's gay centre, a hangout for everyone from professionals, actors and fashion victims to models, Barbies (muscly gay men), lesbians and fag hags. Numerous cafés, bars and nightclubs offer theme parties and DJs.
