Must see places in Brazil
Rio de Janeiro is now my favourite city, not jut in Brazil – in the whole world. It is simply so beautiful and unique and overs everything from gorgeous beaches to mountains with panoramic views and of course a very lively and beautiful city.
Iguazu Waterfalls was for sure the most amazing nature experience I had. I saw both the Brazil and Argentina sides of Iguazu falls (Cataratas) and both were slightly different and amazing. It is hard to explain and to even comprehend when you are there how enormous these falls are.

Salvador is another city I would say is a must see. Salvador is the biggest city in the North East region called Bahia. It is vibrant city with lots of African heritage.
Amazon rainforest is also a must see place and so different from the rest of Brazil. Either you are a nature person or not, the Amazon river is fascinating to everyone.
