Gay Escape To Brazil The Location Of Astonishing Contrasts

Gay men and women make up an important part of the traveling population. The most popular destinations for gay travelers seem to be in those regions where the local population is more tolerant and accepting of homosexuals. Consequently, Europe, Canada and some parts of Southeast Asia get most of the attention. Latin America get relatively little attention. However, both Brazil and Costa Rica offer gay travel opportunities that are worth exploring.

A gay vacation to Brazil is easily managed when you make use of gay tour and travel partners. It is a very popular vacation destination for tourists of all sexual persuasions, form all over the world. Not only is this country as “free ‘n easy” as it gets it is also the largest of all South American Countries, the only two countries on the continent it does not share borders with are Chile and Ecuador.

Brazil border with every other South American country on the continent, barring Ecuador and Chile, and you only have to look on a world map to see just how huge it is. From the Amazon in the North, down through Recife, Parana, Natal and south to Santa Catarina, you find history, divine beaches and coastal resorts, exciting cities, slums, and excess.

A visit to Faz da Iguazu, is vital for the nature lover, and Carnival time in Rio as well as the rest of the country is imperative. But bear in mind, during Carnival it is much more expensive as well as one of the hottest times of the year. They have a fantastic tourism infrastructure but because of the contrast of wealth to poverty, crime is rife in big cities, this is why a tour is an ideal option.

The country is a rainbow nation of culture and race, so the food and drink is different wherever you go. It is a must to drink a caipirinha from the deck of a schooner while visiting the islands around the coastline of Rio.

Wherever you decide to vacation in Brazil will be brilliant, Recife, Natal, Bahia, the Amazon, Parana, Santa Catarina. Every state in this great county has something special to offer. I personally don’t like San Paulo, and to my mind Brasilia is only for visitors who are avidly interested in architecture. Towns such as Parati are fantastic, and if you book at the Pousada de Ouro, you will find that a great many celebrities have spent vacation time there.

A bus trip to the famous town of Parati, is a real adventure, getting there is part of the fun, and this is the case with many of the best spots in Brazil. And if you are visiting the south, head for Santa Caterina and Praia do Pinho, this beach is the first official nudist beach.
