Places to Visit Places to Eat Places toStay Historic Events<br />
1. Fern<strong>an</strong>do de Noronha<br />
1. Dishes from Bahia<br />
1. Hotels of Bonito<br />
1. Carnival<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 Brazili<strong>an</strong> Northeast,<br />
which includes Fern<strong>an</strong>do de Noronha.<br />
Then I include the Brazili<strong>an</strong> P<strong>an</strong>t<strong>an</strong>al, the<br />
beginning of the Amazon, <strong>an</strong>d finally Foz<br />
do Iguaçu with its waterfalls, I think they<br />
show a little of that Brazil.<br />
2. Brazili<strong>an</strong> P<strong>an</strong>t<strong>an</strong>al<br />
3. Foz do Iguaçu<br />
As a suggestion, I bring dishes from Bahia<br />
in its beach restaur<strong>an</strong>ts with Muquecas.<br />
Then the Minas Gerais restaur<strong>an</strong>ts with<br />
typical Brazili<strong>an</strong> food. Finally, the feijoada<br />
de São Paulo is <strong>an</strong> experience for those<br />
who come to Brazil.<br />
2. Mina Gerais restaur<strong>an</strong>ts<br />
3. Feijoada de São Paulo<br />
The hotels in a city called “Bonito” are<br />
amazing. Another suggestion is the<br />
hotels on the beaches of Rio de J<strong>an</strong>eiro.<br />
In addition to the classic hotels in the<br />
mountains of Rio Gr<strong>an</strong>de do Sul <strong>an</strong>d<br />
S<strong>an</strong>ta Catarina states.<br />

It’s impossible not to talk about Carnival<br />
in Brazil. It is a m<strong>an</strong>datory event, whether<br />
in Rio de J<strong>an</strong>eiro or Bahia. Besides it,<br />
we have beautiful events in the interior<br />
of Brazil, such as in the states of Minas<br />
Gerais <strong>an</strong>d Goias, showing the in country<br />
culture. Finally, in M<strong>an</strong>aus, we c<strong>an</strong> explore<br />
the culture of that region, rich <strong>an</strong>d<br />
beautiful.<br />
2. Mina Gerais <strong>an</strong>d Goias<br />

R<strong>an</strong>dom Fact<br />
In Brazil we say that we are a mixture of m<strong>an</strong>y people <strong>an</strong>d 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 Jap<strong>an</strong>ese, Europe<strong>an</strong>, other<br />
Latin peoples among m<strong>an</strong>y others colonization is certainly what makes this country more beautiful.<br />
Additional Comments<br />
Finally, be sure to visit a Street Fair (“Feira de Rua”) <strong>an</strong>d eat a Pastel<br />
in Brazil. You c<strong>an</strong> find them almost all over the country.

1. Monteverde<br />
1. Chubascos<br />
1. Peace Lodge<br />
1. Costa Rica’s 1st Successful Colony<br />
Tr<strong>an</strong>slates 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 h<strong>an</strong>ging<br />
bridge above the forest, as well as<br />
butterfly farms <strong>an</strong>d zip-line tours. This is<br />
a hotspot for <strong>an</strong>y adventurer.<br />
2. Cataratas de la Paz<br />
3. Peninsula Papagayo<br />
Costa Ric<strong>an</strong> cuisine has influence from<br />
m<strong>an</strong>y regions, most local restaur<strong>an</strong>ts<br />
feature fusion cuisines. Listed here are<br />
the most authentic restaur<strong>an</strong>ts, 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 volc<strong>an</strong>oes. We<br />
recommend buying fresh strawberries<br />
<strong>an</strong>d palmito cheese on the way.<br />
2. Mirador Ram Luna<br />
3. Koji’s<br />
All Costa Ric<strong>an</strong> hotels have a unique<br />
touch of its culture, <strong>an</strong>d 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 <strong>an</strong>y hotel surrounding our<br />
place recommendations, you will have a<br />
ton of activities available <strong>an</strong>d will rarely<br />
spend time in your hotel room.<br />
2. Tabacon<br />
3. JW Marriott<br />
The Sp<strong>an</strong>iards did not successfully<br />
establish a colony in Costa Rica until<br />
1563, which was called Cartago <strong>an</strong>d<br />
subsequently became the country’s first<br />
capital city, in Costa Rica’s interior.<br />
2. Ju<strong>an</strong> S<strong>an</strong>tamaría Day<br />
3. New Costa Rica Constitution<br />
Enacted (1949)<br />
R<strong>an</strong>dom Fact<br />
Costa Rica is the most biodiverse country in the world, with a whopping 500,000 species of wildlife — m<strong>an</strong>y of<br />
which are classified as rare or end<strong>an</strong>gered.<br />
Additional Comments<br />
• Costa Rica abolished its army in 1949 <strong>an</strong>d their budget<br />
was allocated towards education <strong>an</strong>d culture.<br />
• Costaric<strong>an</strong>s don’t roll the “Rs”!
