It's not arguable that Brazilians can dance, laugh and play no matter the circumstances. Just like Christ the Redeemer at the top Corcovado, which can be seen from almost any spot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazilians will receive you with open arms. There's something about the perfect combination of beautiful scenery, optimistic music, mouthwatering food, and pleasant sunshine that make Brazilians the happiest race.

The largest city in Brazil is Sao Paulo and is located in Southeastern Brazil with convenient temperatures between 63 °F and 82 °F (17-28 degrees Celsius). The people of Sao Paulo have an immense amount of celebrations, in order to keep life exciting and every day diverse. They enjoy events such as the Sao Paulo Art Biennial and the International Film Festival.

Cultural Turn is an annual event held in Sao Paulo, promoting a whole day of cultural activities, held during the month of May. The activities include music shows, dance shows, orchestra presentations, theater plays, cinema, poetry and acrobatic performances.

You can explore one of the biggest parks in Sao Paulo, Parque Ecologico do Tiete, in case you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery while you jog (because that's what we all do when we're on vacation).

Rio de Janeiro, another enormous tourist attraction in Brazil, is where you definitely want to make sure that your camera is well-charged. Drool over the breathtaking view of the city that has to be seen to be believed as you take the cable car up to Sugar Loaf (or if you want to hike the 396 meters to the top, that option is always available to you).

The statue of Christ on top of the Corcovado Mountain is one of the 7 wonders of the world. Get tickets to watch a soccer game at the Maracana Stadium and take a picture next to Pele's footprints, who is hailed as a national hero when it comes to soccer.

There are millions of ways to end the night, whether its ballroom dancing, sport events on the beach, or catching up on your Shakespeare at the local theater. But a definite must before you leave is to walk up to any street vendor and order “rodizio” barbeque or a “feijoada”. Just tell them TravelPapa sent you.
