When it comes to gay travel, few people think of Latin America as an alternative.  Europe or Canada might spring to mind first.  But even in cultures know for machismo, there are rubies to be found for the gay traveler.

Brazil is a country of much contrast; it is the largest country in South America, and shares borders with every other country on this continent except Ecuador and Chile. Gay travel to Brazil is as popular as straight travel to Brazil and many travel partners are available online to assist you with travel arrangements or tours.

This country of many contrasts brings to mind marvelous images of Sugar Loaf, Rio de Janeiro, beaches, mountains, cities, slums, statues of Christ, the Amazon jungle, Carnival and more. If you should happen to choose it as a vacation destination try not to miss a trip to the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, because this is where you will find Faz de Iguazu.

There is so much on offer for the gay traveler or any other type of traveler. The people of this country are fantastic and the tourism infrastructure is second to none. Although the bright lights of the big city and close location of slums is a draw card for crime, traveling, particularly with a tour group is quite safe. Carnival time is fantastic, but travel is much more expensive at that time and it is the hottest time of the year.

Brazil is a melting pot of colors and races, which makes for an incredible mix of cuisine and drink. The national drink is caipirinha, you are able to buy alcohol on most of the beaches. Enjoying a caipirinha (or two or three), on the beach made from limes, ice, sugar and the local firewater is a must for all travelers.

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.
