Brazil is the largest country in Latin America. Given its size in terms of surface area (more than 8,500,000 km²), it can boast a generous natural heritage and incredibly contrasting landscapes. The Amazon rainforest is, among other things, a fine example of its biodiversity. Stretching over an area of more than 3,500,000 km², this primary jungle is reputed to be the largest tropical forest ecosystem in the world. The abundance of its flora (more than a million plant species) is favoured by the regular and well-distributed rainfall that the Amazon basin hosts. During a circuit to the Brazil, holidaymakers will find many agencies on site offering an exceptional adventure in this jungle.
The Amazon rainforest
The Amazon rainforest holds real treasures in terms of well-being and health. The leaves, flowers, fruits and nuts from this plant sanctuary are used by Brazilian women as care products for their skin and hair. Moreover, we can see that the region's cosmetics are starting to break through the points of sale in Europe thanks to ingredients with choice active ingredients drawn from the heart of this exceptional jungle. Among the most common products is the Castanha do Parà, also known as the "Brazil nut". The latter has been used for years to make remedies and soaps. Exploring this wonder of nature during a Tour Brazil is now an important source of income for the forest.
The onslaught of landscapes contrasting of the Brazil
The Brazilian territory has landscapes that are as varied as they are wonderful, allowing travelers to indulge in various outdoor activities such as hiking, horseback riding, trekking, kayaking, diving, etc. As far as the characteristics of the regions are concerned, the Northeast has an arid climate favouring a scrubby vegetation formation, the most abundant of which is the caatingas. In addition, lovers of the great outdoors will find what they are looking for in the central part of the region. This, together with the eastern and southern sectors, is marked by landscapes dominated by a savannah called cerrado that covers about 20% of Brazil's territory. There are also grasses and shrubs that adapt to drought. In addition, the southwestern regions do not fail to seduce travelers looking for contact with nature. They are, in fact, characterized by an important ecosystem formed by the vast plain of the Pantanal. The vegetation and landscapes are diverse. It should be noted that these parts are divided into 4 zones, including marshy areas, savannahs and Amazonian-type tropical forests. During their Brazilian circuitsl, especially in the west of the Centre-West region, tourists will be able to enjoy the exceptional panorama of Mato Grosse do Sul through a hike between tropical savannah and Atlantic jungle.
