Brazil—a showcase for cultural diversity
Brazil’s rich history is showcased in many fascinating museums, while its architecture reflects the country’s Portuguese heritage and diverse cultural influences from as far afield as Africa and Asia. The São Paulo Museum of Art is a striking Modernist landmark that houses one of the most comprehensive collections of European art in Latin America, as well as many paintings by contemporary Brazilian masters. The city is also home to the Museu Paulista museum of Brazilian history, a monumental building surrounded by beautiful formal gardens in the style of the Palace of Versailles.
Put on your dancing shoes in Brazil
Brazil’s famous carnivals give locals and visitors alike the perfect excuse to let their hair down and party in the springtime. The Rio Carnival is one of the biggest and best-known celebrations of its kind in the world, featuring a cavalcade of colorful floats, imaginative costumes, thrilling samba dancing, and pulsating music. Street performances and parades take over the city streets, with a huge selection of free and ticketed events to choose from. The fun isn’t limited to carnival season, however—Rio’s legendary nightlife keeps the party going all year round.
The varied climate of Brazil
Brazil’s vast landmass ensures that there’s no such thing as typical weather, although the climate of the majority of the country is classified as tropical. Desert or ocean, rainforest or savanna, winter or summer—different habitats and seasons create different conditions. These can vary dramatically even within individual regions, so it’s a good idea to check the exact location of Brazil vacation rentals before deciding what to pack for a trip. Rainfall tends to be more frequent in inland regions, while Brazil vacation rentals with a pool come into their own during the sizzling heat of summer on the coast.
Brazil’s colorful wildlife
Brazil's vast range of environments, and myriad unique wildlife habitats, will leave nature lovers spoiled for choice. Luckily, Brazil vacation rentals offer the flexibility to move around from region to region in search of pumas, ocelots, rare bush dogs, and armadillos. The Amazon rainforest is world-famous for its unparalleled biodiversity, comprising over 16,000 species of trees that are home to colorful birds, rare amphibians, insects, and fish. The Poço das Antas Biological Reserve in Rio de Janeiro State supports one of the last remaining colonies of golden lion tamarin monkeys in the world.
