Brazil Life & Society

Brazil established itself as a destination that combines sustainable luxury and nature

By · August 1, 2022 · 4 min read

The states of Santa Catarina and São Paulo are the epicenter for this type of travel, but the entire country offers a vast range of unique experiences for discerning tourists who want to relax on the best beaches while enjoying unique experiences in one of the most important destinations in terms of ecotourism, as Brazil is the country with the most significant natural resources in the world.

The basis for this type of tourism in Brazil is the country’s commitment to its environment, which it respects and preserves in an extraordinary way, as well as to its foreign and domestic tourists, to whom it offers genuinely unique settings with a great natural environment that allows visitors to relax in the sun, but also enjoy a variety of water activities or routes through incredible landscapes.

Below are some of the most popular places in Brazil where you can spend a dream vacation with the best amenities.

PARATAY – STATE OF RIO DE JANEIRO

Located 232 km from Rio de Janeiro, Paraty is an example of the preservation of its rich colonial architecture. The city’s historic center has been declared a National Monument by the National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage.

Paraty is located on the King’s Road, the longest tourist route in the country (1,630 km, passing through three states: Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, and São Paulo). It is also part of the Serra da Bocaina National Park, a 110,000-hectare nature reserve with steep hills, valleys, caves and impressive native vegetation and fauna.

About 50 beaches and 65 islands surround the city, and you can constantly see sailboats, schooners and other vessels. It is also the perfect destination for scuba divers, as it is located in a small bay within the largest bay of Ilha Grande, and the weather in the area is suitable for this activity at any time of the year.

TRANCOSO –  STATE OF BAHIA

The district of Trancoso is undoubtedly one of the most popular destinations for local tourists. With only 11,000 inhabitants, it is known for having the most desirable beaches in the country. Celebrities like Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Matthew McConaughey are among the most frequent visitors. However, the town still retains the aura of a small, secluded village where you can forget your worries and relax.

Trancoso is the perfect getaway for those seeking privacy and some of the best beaches in the country. It is also the perfect destination for a luxury vacation in Brazil and an ideal honeymoon destination.

Spectacular hotels and accommodations include the Estrela D’Agua, the Mata Nativa or the UXUA Casa, whose name translates to “Wonderful House” and was designed by renowned designer Wilbert Das (formerly for the Diesel fashion brand).

FERNANDO DE NORONHA – STATE OF PERNAMBUCO

Fernando de Noronha is undoubtedly the jewel in Brazil’s crown. The archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, made up of 21 islands and islets, is a place of indescribable beauty and importance that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The beaches of Fernando de Noronha are often mentioned on lists of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil and even in the world.

Among the most popular are Bay of Pigs (Baía dos Porcos), Lion Beach (Praia do Leão) and Sancho Bay (Baía do Sancho), twice voted the best beach in the world by TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards.

Noronha is also one of the best places for surfing and diving.

The crystal clear waters offer excellent visibility, so you can observe the magnificent underwater world with its coral reefs, dolphins, turtles, and sharks. One of the best accommodations in Fernando de Noronha is undoubtedly the Pousada Maravilha, considered one of the best hotels in all of South America and the most exclusive in the Noronha Islands.

Responsible luxury in harmony with the environment If there is one thing that these three destinations have in common with many others, it is that they can offer exclusive experiences in environments that cannot be found anywhere else in the world while always respecting the ecosystem and practicing tourism that cares for the wildlife, nature and local life in the area.
