Destinations in Brazil
Brasilia
Brasilia is the capital of Brazil. It is one of the most loved destinations in Brazil. It is considered to be the world's most planned city. Unluckily, its design favors cars and air-conditioned vehicles rather than people, so you will sweat as you make your way through the hot and humid roads of the city. But still it is one of the most important cities of the nation. It has plenty of places that attract the tourist in spite of its climate.
Rio de Janeiro
Architect Oscar Niemeyer, landscape architect Burle Marx and urban planner Lucio Costa designed this exotic city. It is one of the popular destinations of tourists visiting Brazil. The city was completed in a short span of three years by millions of poor peasants that worked days and nights to give the city the beauty for which it is known. Tourists have plenty of opportunity to dance, drink, enjoy on beaches and have a great holiday in the place.
