Brazil Tourist Information
Brazil, the largest country in South America, is also one of the most expensive in the region. It's famous for its incredible cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, and it is known to have one of the best beach and party scenes around. This is epitomized during the famous annual festival, Carnaval.

Travel Tips for Brazil

Shopping in Brazil

By backpackguru (Photographic Voyage) on Nov 26, 2011 in Souvenirs
Shopping in Brazil is fantastic and fun. You can pick up unique souvenirs, but some of the most popular are the hand crafted jewelry that are ubiquitous. Havaianas thong sandals are an affordable purchase and can be found at most supermarkets. The smaller shops usually have the fake ones in stock. If you can swing it, pick up a Brazilian woven hammock and bring a piece of the tropical paradise home with you. Finally, a unique gift is a peteca, which is used for a traditional Brazilian game comparable to volleyball.
