Anthony's Trip to Brazil

By Anthony Efinda

Anthonys Trip To Brazil Macro

 

Earlier this year I travelled to Brazil with my wife and son for 2 months. We spent most of our time in Sao Paulo but did get to go to Bahia for 2 weeks and Campos Dos Jordao for a week.​

Location

Brazil is located in South America and is the largest country on the continent, sharing a border with countries such as Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Argentina and Uruguay. It has a vast and diverse landscape, including the Amazon Rainforest, the Pantanal wetlands, the Brazilian Highlands, and a long coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. We flew to Sao Paulo with KLM, with a stopover in Amsterdam on the way.

What I Loved

I found the Samba schools to be really interesting, and a unique experience you couldn't get anywhere else. Here, we learned how to do a few different dances while also seeing some behind-the-scenes preparations for Carnival.​

Activities & Places to See

  • Visit Ibirapuera Park (Parque Ibirapuera), one of São Paulo's most famous parks, which offers jogging trails, lakes, museums, and cultural events.
  • Relax on the stunning beaches of Praia do Forte, known for its natural pools, crystal-clear waters, and sea turtles.
  • While in Campos Dos Jordao, Take a scenic train ride on the Trenzinho de Campos, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding mountains.


Food & Bars

Trying some authentic Brazilian dishes is a must while visiting the country. Some of the most popular include coxinha, feijoada & churasco. The Samba bars are a fantastic place to enjoy a cocktail in the evening too.
