Top 7 Places In Brazil For Nature-Lovers

1. Foz do Igua?u – Paraná

It is not necessary to adore nature to appreciate this location's beauty. One of the most magnificent spots to see after landing on your flight to Brazil is this waterfall, which is the widest in the entire world. Argentina and Paraguay are also bordered by the waterfall. The Brazilian side provides access to "Devil's Throat," a huge abyss that towers 270 feet, as well as the most panoramic views. Be prepared to get soaked as you cross bridges to explore the waterfall. Numerous hiking routes are available in this region, where you can see howler monkeys, toucans, and a wide variety of unusual and colorful birds.

2. Fernando de Noronha – Pernambuco

This stunning group of 21 islets in the Atlantic Ocean is located in the Pernambuco state, in the north of Brazil. This is not only a fantastic location to learn to surf, but it's also a great opportunity to interact with sea turtles and dolphins in their natural environment. There is a cap of 460 guests every time because this site is so unique.

This area is home to Praia do Leo and Baa do Sancho, two of Brazil's top beaches. If you can, go snorkeling at Praia da Atalaia where the shallow tidal pools at low tide are teeming with lobsters, octopus, fish, and young sharks. To prevent harming this wonderful habitat, only 100 visitors are permitted here each day.

3. Bonito – Mato Grosso do Sul

This region is known as the "Caribbean of the Central West" for a reason. For snorkeling and scuba diving, anticipate the most vibrant collection of fish you've ever seen in crystal-clear seas. Get ready to spot some freshwater stingrays as well as giant underwater stalagmites in the rivers. The finest area to watch vast flocks of macaws with their vivid red and blue feathers is out of the water, at Buraco das Araras.

4. Len?óis Maranhenses –?Maranhao

It was challenging to pick just one picture to capture the essence of this place because it is difficult to express. Imagine massive, bright-blue freshwater lakes dotted throughout vast, white sand dunes. From above, the scenery appears to be a wrinkled bed sheet due to the 150-foot height of some of the dunes, thus the name (lencois means sheets in Portuguese). A little distance from Sao Luis, in the Len?óis Maranhenses National Park, lies the dunes. Although you can visit this location as a day trip, it's advised to stay at least one night close to the park to allow for a thorough exploration without feeling rushed.

5. Arquipélago de Anavilhanas – Amazonas

Beautiful freshwater river island archipelago in the Amazon. Make sure to set aside some time to visit this location if you're interested in visiting the Amazon. Swim in the Rio Negro, go piranha fishing, look for sloths and toucans, or simply unwind on a river beach while admiring the passing fisherman in their boats.

6. Pantanal – Mato Grosso do Sul

The biodiversity in these tropical wetlands, which are the biggest in the world, is really incredible. The finest means of transportation through the Pantanal, which is more than 77,000 square miles, are 4WD vehicles, boats, or horses. There are very few residents and no communities in this area. You can observe animals like gigantic anteaters, jaguars, and river otters, among others.

7. Poco Encantado & Poco Azul?

Poco Encantado, sometimes referred to as "The Enchanted Well," is a submerged swimming hole hidden inside a cave with crystal-clear water. A peephole in the cave ceiling allows the sun to flow through from April to September, hitting the water at just the correct angle to provide the most spectacular blue effect and provide enough light for tourists to see the old boulders and tree trunks that line the bottom.

Poco Azul offers swimming in an environment that is quite close to a cave pool, in contrast to Poco Encantado. It's quite magical, and Chapada Diamantina National Park is well-known for its table mountains, gorges, canyons, and caves if you enjoy exploring caverns.
