September is the perfect time to dive into amazing Brazil. This country is an exquisite mosaic of natural landscapes, vibrant megacities, and a bright, rhythmic culture. Being rightly believed, it is one of those countries that tucks magic into your soul and enhances sensitivity. From passionate street rhythms of samba to the serenity of the Amazon, Brazil combines contrasts that simply give birth to one single invitation: to discover a country. That is why our team has put together a travel guide full of the best experiences to include into your itinerary while visiting this incredible country.
Visit the beaches of Rio de Janeiro
Imagine lying on the sand, cold coconut in hand, with the sound of the ocean washing away your care. To this end, one really ought to see the world-renowned beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro. This is the time when the dream should be realized, because the temperature is mild, and the beaches are far from crowds compared to the peak summer season. You can come here to sit in peace, catch some waves, or go for a kayaking session while you get soaked in vital momentum from the energy of the locals surrounding you.
Amazon Rainforest Visit
The Amazon rainforest is the most awesome natural wonder on the planet, and in September, it will be at the perfect time to take a tour through it. With the dry season drawing to its close, conditions are ideal to travel down the river via boat, viewing rare wildlife and soaking up rich biodiversity of a region that, until recently, you’d only gaze upon from your desktop.
To ensure that you will have a safe and enjoyable experience during your adventure, it would be best to rely only on experienced jungle guides who know every trail along with the potential hazards in the area. Secondly, make sure you are properly equipped with sturdy boots and with long pants or leggings for protection from unwanted critters.
Walk around Sambara
Sambara is a small town with its specific architecture and appeal of its squares. It invites for a September stroll along its cobblestone streets of getting to know the vivid local culture and discovering the rich history of the region. A few museums and art galleries house this quaint town, one of those experiences that anyone can enjoy irrespective of his taste for art. Even if one does not really like going to a museum, we recommend a leisurely stroll along the long promenade with ice cream and coffee in hand, basking under the warm sun, and taking a load of photos en route.
Have Brazilian Food
Food in Brazil is a gastronomic paradise, from the innumerable local dishes down to flavors that can hardly be tasted anywhere in town. From traditional meat dishes down to fresh fish and seafood, it is an explosion of flavors in every food that delights the palate. We especially recommend vatapá, a rich preparation with fish, shellfish and peanuts; acarajé, fried bean cakes filled with shrimp; and of course feijoada, probably the best interpretation from the country’s national dish, made with black beans, sausages, and beef. Finally, brigadeiro deserves a mention: divine chocolate truffles that will fulfill every sweet craving.
Discovery of Bahia’s Cultural Heritage
Bahia is the pulse of Brazil, a mythical land where the traditions of Africa blend in total harmony with the great influences of Spain and Portugal. Of course, many experiences are at hand, but our team simply can’t miss the chance which historic quarters of Salvador provided: brightly colored architecture and brightly colored markets provided a perfect way for locals to be reached and buying traditional handicrafts.
September is also an excellent time to participate in various events and festivals, with their share of dances, music, and theater performances that represent the rich cultural heritage of the region. It is here that the rhythms of samba and axé will move you, placing you back in time amidst the history and traditions of this area.
