[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brazil. There is Rio, which is unique and interesting city. But there is a lot more to visit. In the northeast, you have beautiful beaches. Maragogi, Jericoacoara, Lençois Maranhences, etc. The resorts are much cheaper than ones in the Caribbean. There is also Chapada Diamantina National Park.  Fernando de Noronha is wonderful but difficult to get to/limits visitors. But there is a reason it's considered to have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.  In the south, you have beautiful cities, beaches, and interesting towns with German, Italian influences. Blumenau and Gramado are really cute. I'm pretty sure Blumenau has one of the biggest Oktoberfests in the world. But even if you can only manage Rio, you can visit towns somewhat near by like Buzios, Ilha Grande, and Paraty.  [/quote]

Great suggestion. I'd love to visit Salvador and Manaus. I heard Porto Alegre is nice too but I wonder how it has recovered since the devastating floods.[/quote]

I stayed in an Amazon eco-lodge like 18 years ago. You fly into Manaus and then go from there. It was a gorgeous area in the middle of the jungle. You could go and dip your toes in one of the Amazon River tributaries, taking a boat to the Amazon itself. I still remember seeing the pink Amazon River dolphins. You could also hire guides to take you out to camp in the jungle, further afield. We built shelters out of palm leaves, including an area to cook meat the guides had brought along. We slept in hammocks attached to trees. It was unforgettable hearing all the jungle sounds at night! I don’t remember the exact name of the ecolodge, but it might have been Amazon Ecopark Jungle Lodge, which appears to be still operating today. [/quote]
