Let your memory be your travel bag."

Alexander Solzhenitsyn (1918)

Back in 1976, we entered the country for the first time through the Venezuelan border, arriving to Boa Vista.

To get to Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon jungle, was a unique experience in itself as they were building the Trans Amazon Highway cutting through the jungle and facing resistance from local aboriginal tribes.
Understandably enough, they weren't prepared to let it go easily.

So we were escorted by armed men, day and night.
In land as well as crossing rivers and creeks in precarious rafts, we were surrounded by rifles everywhere.

Have to admit that the risk factor added spice to our adventure, like a character out of Indiana Jones.

In addition, those nights sleeping under the sky, with stars brighter than a Chinese firework, were among the best we've ever experienced out in the open.

We navigated the Amazon river for almost a week. Visited Santarem and arrived at the port city of Belem, near to where the Amazon meets the Atlantic Ocean.

What about you? Do you have an exciting adventure story to tell? I'd love to hear about it.

The Brazilian NE is magnificent.

Over two thousand miles of virtually uninterrupted white sand beaches, emerald-green waters, coral reefs, lagoons, coconut palms, mangroves....you name it. Brazil beaches at its best!
The ideal place for sun lovers, were fun and leisure are an integral part of the landscape.

Followed the coastline and visited Fortaleza, Recife, Fernando de Noronha island, João Pessoa and Maceió, before arriving to Brazil's main tourist destination: Salvador da Bahia. A unique blend of indigenous, African and European cultures.

Home of Capoeira, Salvador da Bahia is also the birthplace of famous musicians and composers such as João Gilberto, Caetano Velloso, Gilberto Gil, Gal Costa, Maria Bethania and writer Jorge Amado among others.

Brasilia - Brazil's capital is a truly modern city.
We've got really impressed by the Cathedral Nossa Senhora Aparecida. We've never seen religious architecture so harmonious and futuristic as this one.

Heading south, we reached Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais, and visited Ouro Preto, a historic mining town built in 17th century and a World Heritage Landmark by UNESCO.
It hosts the oldest theater in South America.

Next stop was São Paulo, Brazil's largest city and ranked 4th on a global scale.
Absolutely impressive place, it can even make you feel intimidated by its size and activity level.

As we discovered, São Paulo tourism rivals Rio in terms of fun and entertainment.

But Rio de Janeiro kept us all excited in anticipation.
After all, you just don't walk into the most sensual city on the planet to remain indifferent, do you?..

Neither do I!..
We spent about one week sightseeing Rio de Janeiro...what an experience! Truly deserves the name of marvelous city.
