Have you been working hard, saving money to go on a well-deserved trip to a foreign country, not just to relax but to also get caught in a unique and fascinating new culture? If you haven't decided yet what your destination is going to be, here are some things that are sure to convince you that Brazil is the perfect choice for you.

For starters, Brazil is the largest country in South America spreading across more than 8.5 million square kilometers. The Amazon rainforest covers almost 50% of Brazil's surface and is considered to be the most biologically diverse ecosystem in the world, containing a third of all the living species found on earth. A trip across the Amazonian rainforest in a ferry promises to be unforgettable. Also for the nature loving folk, there is the Diamantina National Park where you can go river rafting, diving or hiking. Underground lakes and waterfalls, caves and mountains are only a few of the things the park has to offer. If you want to relax on the beach, in a fancy seaside resort, or go surfing, you can choose one of the many islands and beaches on the coast of Brazil.

Fernando de Noronha is considered to be a tropical paradise. Although there are not many hotels on the island the seabirds will keep you from feeling lonely. You cannot leave Brazil without having watched a football match on the Maracan Stadium in Rio, one of the biggest arenas in the world. Football is one of the most loved sports in the country. The Brazilians call it the belo jogo, meaning the beautiful game. Brazil is the right destination for extreme sports enthuziasts as well, with hang gliding sites in Niteri, Corumb and Pico do Ibituruna. For the city bred or city loving people, the capital, Bras­lia, displays the futuristic designs of the famous architect Oscar Niemeyer and there is no need to mention the ever so popular carnival of Rio de Janeiro. To get a bigger taste of the Brazilian culture of dance and life go for samba lessons in a gafieira, a traditional dancehall, such as Estudantina in Rio, one of the best in the country.

These are only some of the many great attractions that this Latin country has to offer. Now all that is left to do is plan a holiday and find flights to Brazil. To go on a cheaper flight plan the trip ahead and look for low fare tickets. TAM Airlines is a popular Brazilian company that offers great deals on cheap flights to Brazil so be on the lookout!
