BRAZIL TOP 3 FAVORITE<br />
Places to Visit Places to Eat Places toStay<br />
1. Fernando de Noronha<br />
Brazil is a beautiful country with beautiful<br />
places to visit. How difficult it is to<br />
choose three places. I would start with<br />
the beaches of the Brazilian Northeast,<br />
which includes Fernando de Noronha.<br />
Then I include the Brazilian Pantanal, the<br />
beginning of the Amazon, and finally Foz<br />
do Iguaçu with its waterfalls, I think they<br />
show a little of that Brazil.<br />
2. Brazilian Pantanal<br />
3. Foz do Iguaçu<br />
1. Dishes from Bahia<br />
As a suggestion, I bring dishes from Bahia<br />
in its beach restaurants with Muquecas.<br />
Then the Minas Gerais restaurants with<br />
typical Brazilian food. Finally, the feijoada<br />
de São Paulo is an experience for those<br />
who come to Brazil.<br />

3. Feijoada de São Paulo<br />
1. Hotels of Bonito<br />
The hotels in a city called “Bonito” are<br />
amazing. Another suggestion is the<br />
hotels on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro.<br />
In addition to the classic hotels in the<br />
mountains of Rio Grande do Sul and<br />
Santa Catarina states.<br />

Random Fact<br />
In Brazil we say that we are a mixture of many people and countries. So, rest assured that, in addition to the big cities,<br />
you will find a little of various cultures from around the world spread across our territory. The Japanese, European, other<br />
<strong>Latin</strong> peoples among many others colonization is certainly what makes this country more beautiful.<br />
Finally, be sure to visi<br />
in Brazil. Y

Historic Events<br />
1. Carnival<br />
It’s impossible not to talk about Carnival<br />
in Brazil. It is a mandatory event, whether<br />
in Rio de Janeiro or Bahia. Besides it,<br />
we have beautiful events in the interior<br />
of Brazil, such as in the states of Minas<br />
Gerais and Goias, showing the in country<br />
culture. Finally, in Manaus, we can explore<br />
the culture of that region, rich and<br />
beautiful.<br />

Additional Comments<br />
t a Street Fair (“Feira de Rua”) and eat a Pastel<br />
ou can find them almost all over the country.
COSTA RICA TOP 3 FAVORITE<br />
Places to Visit Places to Eat Places toStay<br />
1. Monteverde<br />
Translates to “Green Mountain,”<br />
Monteverde is one of the most recognized<br />
cloud forests worldwide. It has two forest<br />
reserves that provide visitors with miles<br />
of trails to explore, including a hanging<br />
bridge above the forest, as well as<br />
butterfly farms and zip-line tours. This is<br />
a hotspot for any adventurer.<br />
2. Cataratas de la Paz<br />
3. Peninsula Papagayo<br />
1. Chubascos<br />
Costa Rican cuisine has influence from<br />
many regions, most local restaurants<br />
feature fusion cuisines. Listed here are<br />
the most authentic restaurants, each<br />
located in a must-visit area. Chubascos is<br />
up in the mountains, on the road to one<br />
of the country’s active volcanoes. We<br />
recommend buying fresh strawberries<br />
and palmito cheese on the way.<br />
2. Mirador Ram Luna<br />
3. Koji’s<br />
1. Peace Lodge<br />
All Costa Rican hotels have a unique<br />
touch of its culture, and the architecture<br />
blends wonderfully well with the nature<br />
surrounding it. “Ticos” take special pride<br />
on the three hotels mentioned below,<br />
but if you pick any hotel surrounding our<br />
place recommendations, you will have a<br />
ton of activities available and will rarely<br />
spend time in your hotel room.<br />
2. Tabacon<br />
3. JW Marriott<br />
