Brazils cultural and Natural
highlights
- on round trips or short stays
What most people have in mind
when they think about spending their next holiday
in Brazil, generally can be resumed in relaxing in
a hammock under palm trees, shaded from the intense
tropical sun, sipping a Caipirinha, strolling about
in exotic nature and enjoying hot samba nights at
Copacabana beach and it is so cheap: a pack cigarettes
for $ 0.80, a bottle of Bacardi $ 2.70 a - non stop
- BBQ dinner for less than $ 12, etc. etc. …not
bad one might say, but…
Other travel options may
be of interest to the more demanding traveler. Options,
that offer insights in the cultural
heritage of a people
that have been influenced by a great
ethnic diversity.
Brazil means contrast in the first place, wherever
you look. It is archaic and modern, very poor and
very wealthy, at the same time.
Notwithstanding the dominating
Catholicism - Brazil is the biggest catholic country
- syncretism is extremely common, and not only among
the lower social classes. Cultural roots can also
be traced by the music for which Brazil has
gained a world wide reputation. Design
and architecture,
both colonial and futuristic,
are other highlights that put Brazil right up front
on the international scenery.
The language is Portuguese,
but it is heavily riddled with expressions and wordings
from native Indian or even
African linguistic root.
Obviously both cultures are decisively linked not
only to the cultural but also to the economical development
of the Nation. Being a country
of continental dimensions
Brazil boasts seemingly endless natural resources
that are becoming explored in a more sustainable manner
than it used to be the case. Today Brazil is world
leader in exports of a wide range of mainly agricultural
products, but also its technology based industries,
like aircraft, is growing steadily.
Through our cultural tours
we aim to show the visitor Brazil the way it is -
not the way a tourist would like it to be. Our guides
are historians or architects
and speak your language. The groups are small, never
over eight people and the level is elevated.

A fascinating country worthwile to know!
