Depends on what you're looking for. Most Americans think of Brazil. It's RIO and CRIME. I am from the south. Nothing like the rumors my country receives from over seas.

there are so much to do and remember Brazil is a big country (almost as big as United States) so places are far from each other and there are many things to choose from. Since is your first time I would advise you to go to the most famous place in Brazil: Rio de janeiro. Rio is a beautiful city surronded by buildings, beaches, and mountains. The people are very tanned, women are beautiful, and the city just has a magical "feeling" about it. if you go in February there is the famous Carnaval. It is an unbeliavable experience. Rio is great to spend New Years, the fire work by the beach is amazing too. Northern Brazil: known to have beautiful beaches with white soft sand, clear water, very cheap and great weather. Some places I recomend: Recife, Ceara, Fortaleza, etc... Salvador da Bahia: is a historical city on the northern Brazil. Famous for its unique historical portugues and african influenced buildings and also beautiful beaches. The people there love music and it is the founder of some very unique brazilian rythims such as the Axe, Timbalada, the famous capoeira sport. The most beautiful places: Lencois Maranhenses located all the way in Maranhao (northern most part of Brazil). It is a large area by the ocean that looks like a desert but with high white sands dunes and green water lagoons. It is very unique because you don't find it anywhere else. Also not far from there, you can visit Canoa Quebrada where you can enjoy more dunes and rent a boogie car to drive on the dunes... quiet an experience... My final advise: go to Rio for a few days, take a flight to Maranhao to visit Lencois maranhenses and Cano Quebrada. If you have more time go to Bahia as well (the night life there is very good too). And no matter where you visit in Brazil, be attentive to thieves they can easily still your purpose and your jewelry, so don't wear many. Brazil is not super safe so be aware. Have a wonderful time in Brazil
