Flight, Hotel & Bargain Package Holidays to Brazil

Getting the and getting around

Flights to Brazil can be found from major airports in the UK. Most direct flights to Brazil are those operated by British Airways. Both offer daily services to Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro where Brazil’s two airports are situated. It only takes around 9 hours to reach Brazil unlike neighbouring South American countries which can take up to 17 hours to reach. Getting around in Brazil is relatively straightforward and car hire is not necessarily essential, with public transport on buses and subways, even in relatively isolated areas. Transfers to and from the airport are best pre-booked with your travel agent, as Brazil is such a large country, transfer times may prove to be quite a distance, therefore taxis could be quite expensive.

Things to do

Holidays in Brazil offer endless fun and a wealth of things to do. The famous city of Rio de Janeiro is said to be one of the most spectacular cities on the planet. A hugely popular trip there is the helicopter tour over the city skyline. This rare opportunity allows visitors to see the city in all its glory from the skies. The helicopter flies over the soft golden beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, the enchanting Christ statue on Corcovado and the Marcana Stadium. The Maracana Stadium is a popular excursion; a tour bus comes to pick you up and takes you to the Maracana, where you can enjoy the electric atmosphere of a Brazilian Football game. The stadium accommodates over 100,000 people and has been a host to many championship matches over the years including the legendary Pele’s last ever game.

Food and drink

Food and drink in Brazil is served in extremely large portions, so much so it puts American portions to shame. The cuisine here reflects the varied cultural influences that make Brazil such an exciting place to be in. The national dish in Brazil is called ‘Feijoada,’a stew made up of black beans cooked with meat and pieces of pork, it is well seasoned with onion, salt, garlic and oil and served with white rice and cut into fine strips. Food in Brazil tends to be washed down with a refreshing glass of fruit juice. As the Amazon has such a diverse selection of delicious fruit, Brazillians can create the most imaginative fruit juices on the planet.
