Spring has arrived, and it’s time to plan that ever-popular Spring Vacation. But where to go? This year, why not branch out, head a little further south, and discover one of the world’s biggest countries – Brazil.
Environmental treks can suit the fancy of many vacationers. The peak of the rainy season in Brazil has just ended, so it’s a beautiful time to explore the wonders of the Amazon. Manaus, capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas, is home to well over a million people and is a great home base for exploring the Amazonian rainforests. There are many travel companies who offer tours from Manaus throughout the rainforest, giving you the opportunity to see this dwindling natural wonder first hand. You can also visit one of the centers of burgeoning hope for rainforest conservation, the “chocolate forests”. These plantings of cocoa trees within the heart of the rainforest are bringing forth forest-conserving insects, soil fertilization, and microclimate stability.
When booking your Brazilian vacation this spring, the beauty of this amazing country should leave you anxious to board the plane. You won’t be disappointed as you experience this exotic piece of South American paradise.
