Is this the destination for you?

It's a pleasure to explore a country that is as astonishing as much as it is huge! Each region of Brazil is like a country in itself. So, theoretically, there's something for everyone. Even so, here are some questions you may want to ask yourself, to help you decide if Brazil is your dream destination or not...

You should go if

Do you like to party and dance to music, as it blasts across streets and beaches?
Do you have a taste for the wild and a love of animals?
Do you enjoy vacations where you can go with the flow?
Would it bother you to leave your chic outfits behind and instead dress in clothes that camouflage you?
Do you dream of lying back in a hammock and breathing in stunning scenery?

You shouldn't go if

Do you hate insects and creepy crawlies of all sizes?
Do you only like vacations where everything organized from A-Z and runs to schedule?
Do you dislike rice and beans?
Are you only prepared to speak English?
Do you hate rum?
