When Traveling to Brazil…

Brazil is located in South America. By geographical area, it is the fifth largest country in South America. Brazil is bordered by Venezuela, Suriname and Guyana to the north, Bolivia and Peru to the west, Columbia in the northwest, Argentina and Paraguay in the southwest, and Uruguay in the south. Although Brazil has a wide range of weather conditions, it is mainly tropical. There are five major climatic subtypes: equatorial, tropical, semiarid, highland tropical and temperate. Brazil’s climate ranges from rainforests in the north to semiarid deserts in the northeast.

As with most countries, Brazil has a rich culture that most find very interesting. Some of the popular landmarks of Brazil are: the Statue of Christ the Redeemer, the Amazon River Ouro Preto (Rich Village of Black Gold) and Congonhas. Brazilian landscapes are also very beautiful and popular with tourists. Rainforests, waterfalls and rivers hold pretty plants and creatures alike.

When finding an airline to fly to Brazil, I used Delta Airlines as an example. From the JFK airport in New York to the Brasilia Airport (BSB) in Brazil, the airplane ticket is around $3,000 (one-way, one person, coach seating and multiple stops). The trip would take about 31 hours and 45 minutes.
