From Africa to Brazil, the transition was smooth. Moisture is added to the dry heat, but we can see that Africa is everywhere in the music, food, the Brazilian habits, and the trade in all corners of the streets.
Brazil is a huge country, more than 16 times the size of France, with more than 8 billion km2! We could have devoted more than one year of traveling for Brazil, as the territory is so vast and contrasted, between Amazonia, Pantanal, the cities with African influences like Salvador de Bahia, the beaches and small paradises of the North East coast, in short there are thousands of things to discover!
We have to remember from Brazil the good mood of all the people, the sun, the music at every corner of the streets, the relaxed and laid back atmosphere, and of course the samba and the smiles of all these dancers despite the misery and the poverty that touch many of them.
You will discover all these atmospheres thanks to our articles below.
