Brazil

Have you been dreaming about traveling to Brazil?  Well, now is a perfect time! The current exchange rate is 1 USD to 3 BRL. Just two years ago it was at 1 USD to 1.5 BRL; that’s a 50% savings for people traveling with the U.S. Dollar. Combine the exchange rate with the visa waiver program valid for travel during the Olympic and Paralympic games, and you’re looking at major travel savings! Likewise, many services that SouthAmerica.travel offers are cheaper, making hotels even more affordable.  Feel the vibrant culture of Brazil on a tour to see the country’s most impressive highlights.

Brazil is the size of the continental United States and offers you a wide variety of unique and impressive destinations. Discover the fun afro-culture in Salvador da Bahia, dance samba in the friendly city of Rio de Janeiro.  Then, leave the city and explore the wildlife heaven that is the Amazon Rainforest and the Pantanal Wetlands.

There are so many different destinations to choose from, but Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Salvador da Bahia, and Iguassu Falls are the most popular destinations in Brazil.  Take our recommended Brazil Tours and wherever you choose to travel, you are sure to fall in love with the warmth and cheerful locals.
