Five Regions of Brazil
Travel to North Brazil to enjoy...
...the incredible diversity of flora and fauna in the rain forest of the Amazon. Everything in the Amazon is BIG - the trees, the area, the amount of water, the diversity of species. Take birds for example. There are 1,100 species. That´s a world record. Not too long ago, there were few options for adequate accommodations. There are presently more than 40 hotels in the rainforest. The largest is the Ariaú Towers Hotel. Ariaú Amazon Towers is the only hotel complex at tree top level in the Amazon Rainforest. Located thirty five (35) miles or sixty (60) kilometers in a Northwestern direction from Manaus, Brazil, situated on the right bank of the Negro River, part of the National Park of the Negro River and at the beginning of the Anavilhanas Archipelago, the largest fresh water Archipelago in the world.
Here you will experience the excitment of an Amazon adventure in your next or first travel to the Amazon.
Ariaú has 8 wood towers linked by high catwalks (all about 30 feet high, tree top level) form the resort.
There has 370 bedrooms, 10 Tree Houses or Tarzan Suites and 12 standard suites.
Although it is located in the deep forest Ariau provides you with all the facilities you deserve to make your stay even more delightful.
Travel to Northeast Brazil to enjoy...
...exuberant tropical beaches. The beaches of Northeast Brazil always top the list of any "Top 10 Beaches" list. Here are just a couple of our favorites. Porto de Galinhas
Porto de Galinhas Beach is located 60 km south of Recife in the small village of Ipojuca. Due to the reefs, the water is calm and clear. At low tide, you can board a "jangada" and have the "jangadeiro" take you out to the natural pools where you can swim and feed the colorful fish.
Once the tide rises, you can either stretch out and catch some rays or hop on a dune buggy for a tour of nearby beaches.
Only 2 km southward is Maracaípe beach. This is the location of one of the worldwide surfing contests. You can catch some waves or, if you prefer, try your hand at kite surfing. There, you can also take a boat ride into the mangue and jump in to catch some sea horses. The sunsets at Maracaípe are unforgetable.
Moving north, you´ll find Cupe, Muro Alto and Gamboa with lots of soft sand, large natural pools and long stretches of isolated beaches.
Ipojuca has dozens of charming bed and breakfast establishments and nationally recognized restaurants. If you prefer to be pampered, several luxurious resorts have been built close to Muro Alto. Whether you choose Summerville or Nannai, you can´t lose.
Fernando de Noronha
Only 50 minutes (by air) from Recife, the state capital of Pernambuco, is the Archipelago Fernando de Noronha, known as "The Emerald of the Atlantic".
Noronha, which is actually the top of a large underwater mountain of volcanic origem, is composed of 21 islands with a total area of 26 km2. Of this, the main island is 17 km2. Due to rigorous preservation of the ecosystem, Noronha offers visitors the opportunity to see rare species on animals with zero pollution.
There are no 5 star hotels on the islands. Most of the bed and breakfast establishments are simple. Yet, the rugged accommodations are a small price to pay to witness such natural beauty.
Due to a limit on the number of visitors, you can often find yourself alone on some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. You might opt for a boat tour around the island. As you move through the water, playful dolphins follow along. The captain will stop in one of the bays where you can jump in and do some snorkling. It´s not unlikely to see 3 foot groupers, barracudas, lobsters, angelfish, rays and even sharks.
Each evening IBAMA, the national environmental institute which is responsible for the administration of national parks, offers lectures about marine life. Each night is a different subject. You´ll learn about sharks, marine birds, dolphins, sea turtles and more.
Travel to Central Brazil to enjoy...
...historical cities and national parks. To be continued.
