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.
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.
If you have the opportunity to travel to this wonderful country, the best time to go is for carnival, if you are looking for a spectacular time. Two things you have to consider however is, when Carnival takes place it is the hottest time of the year in Brazil and it is also the most expensive.
It does not matter where you choose to go, you will not be disappointed in Brazil. Brasilia is and architectural wonder, but as far as I am concerned, this is the only thing it has going for it, and San Paulo has even less. But I am biased and it is because the rest of the country has so much on offer.
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.
