There are few destinations in the world that offer such an enormous variety of tourist options within one Country. The range of choices move from the Tropical Amazon Basin, to Temperate Iguacu Falls and includes the unique Pantanal region with its fantastic flora and fauna, National Parks, Historic Cities, the superb architecture of Brasilia, Coconut Palm beaches, beaches with sheer, rocky cliffs towering over them, calm seas or surfing beaches, small river beaches on the edges of amber coloured and black waters, delightfull small Towns in the Vale Europeu with a charming European look and every where, mouth watering local dishes, all served with Brazil`s renowned trade-mark, warm, friendly hospitality.

We hope to show you that Brazil is more than just Football, Carnival and Rio de Janeiro. Just two enchanting features of Brazil are worthy of special mention here, the Amazon and the splendid beaches. Within Brazil Profile, we attempt to go further, and show you the culture and customs of the local people who live along side these beaches. With more than eight thousand kilometers of coastline, no other Country offers such a diversity of magnificent beaches. It is virtually impossible to select the most perfect, as Brazil is a dream made reality, an adventure for the world, a mystery, a manifestation of pure art, exotic with its bouquet of cultures and beauty.

The Amazon Forest is truely fantastic. It is said that "seeing is believing", but even when you do see for yourself, it is difficult to take in. The sights confuse your senses; the black waters of one river that flow along side the muddy, ocher coloured waters of another without merging, twisting labyrinths of narrow river passages flow secretly beneath a canopy of tropical water forest, mysterious places that confuse and disorientate. Evidence abounds of the profound, ongoing charm of the Amazon, where natural phenomena overflow and merge with the myths and ancient legends, like the Muiraquita, the Porpoise and Iara. (The Muiraquita is a talisman carved from a Jade like mineral into the shape of Turtles, Snakes or Aligators).

There are places which seem to be contained within a Time Machine, like the historical town of Paraty, close to the Rio de Janeiro / Sao Paulo State border, nestling by the calm waters of Ilha Grande Bay, beneath the exotic Tropical Serra do Mar. Paraty serves as the starting point for a journey following Brazil's history, and there, you will have an opportunity to see an historic town whose architecture is uniquely harmonious. In Paraty you will sense the profound influence of the Portuguese, and be transported back in time to the 18th and 19th centuries.
Also,in the Historic Cities of Minas Gerais, time appears to have stopped still and the past blends with the present, telling the stories of Brazil's richest Imperial settlements.

These close ties between the past and present, ancient and modern are built upon the strength of Brazil's ancestors over a period of five hundred years, a wonderful mix of indigenous Indians, the first Colonisers and African Negros, cemented by the sagas of the early immigrants, Italians, German, Arab and Japonese who have been settling in Brazil for the last 200 years. By visiting Brazil's State Capitals, you will see the multiple faces of this friendly, diverse people.

Brazil's natural scenery is as stunningly beautiful as it is varied. In Lencois Maranhense for example, the landscape changes completely, depending upon the time of year that you visit. During the rainy season from February to May or the dry, from August to December, you will see totaly different scenery. In the dry season, desert, in the wet, oases. For half of the year, Lencois is flooded, dotted with green, sparkling lakes and waterfalls glittering amongst the 40meter high dunes. During the dry season, the scorching sun drives away the shaddows, and reveals the intense beauty of the multi coloured sands, ochre, yellow, white, swirling in the winds.

Brazil is blessed with such incredible gifts of nature, it is almost as though pieces of Paradise have been placed here for our appreciation and enjoyment. Do come and see for yourselves!
