Amazonas, Brazil Summary
Brazil has much to offer when it comes to ecotraveling. Natural beauty and countless protected environmental reserves are attractions that truly call the attention of foreign tourists when it comes time to choose a destination for their vacation. Travelers can experience an adventurous and thrill-packed vacation in freshwater wetlands, forests, or tropical forests that together sustain some of the world’s greatest biodiversity. The Amazon alone is home to approximately 60% of all life forms on the planet. Brazil’s zest for celebration, represented in the Carnival, the largest popular festivity in the world, proves to be yet another incentive to visit the region. This lively and hospitable country offers a blend of cultural relations, a celebration of flora and fauna, and a variety of travel options that should not be overlooked.

Diving...
Hi there again! Sorry I was a long time away... studying a lot... But let me answer all your questions about the diving experience.. Personally, I have a couple of friends that usually go diving to the Caribbean Sea, so I asked them for some info... You don´t need to take your own things, for example I did not have my own equipment, they gave me everything there... They take you in a boat to a calm part of the sea and there they explain a lot of things you need to do (how to breath, how to "talk" with your instructor, etc)... One of the things I most enjoyed was the variety of fishes, snails and corals you can sea there... It`s beautiful and indescribable. Ask me for any other question!

a must
You have to visit Manaus if you’re looking for an Amazonas experience in Brazil. There are plenty of things to do, and some hotels will provide excellent excursions. Try the Ariau Amazon Towers, which offers fishing for piranhas, swimming with the dolphins, and plenty more.

Diving
Sorry, the reef part was a stupid question. Obviously there are no reefs in a river. So what was the diving like? Was there any visibility??

Diving Florianopolis
What was the diving like? Are there coral reefs there? Fish? Did you set up the diving before you left, or did you just find a dive shop once you got there? Did you take your own snorkel gear, or rent it all there? Thanks!!

Eu gosto de um rico feijoada
Florianapolis is one of the most beautiful cities of Brazil. A long white sand beach with the greatest worm and calm sea. And after swimming for hours I loved a feijoada (rice and black beans). I also went diving which was a geat experience as well. I totally recommend it!!!
