Bird Watching
The Pantanal is the ultimate destination for Bird watching in Brazil. It is difficult to turn your head without catching sight of yet another lovely species. Here, the challenge is not sighting birds - it is keeping track of everything you see and deciding which way to look! The Atlantic Rainforest near Foz do Iguau is another popular destination for birdwatchers from around the world, and here you will delight in the butterfly population, as an added bonus.
Caving
Tours offer a comprehensive introduction to this unique wilderness activity, unveiling the mysteries of how caves are formed, and the unique species found in cave ecosystems, such as albino bats, fish and spiders. In some locations the opportunity to learn or practice skills such as underwater cave diving and ice caving are available.
Fishing
Nearly every region in Brazil provides great opportunities for sport fishing. The country offers all that the fisherman could wish for: mighty rivers surrounded by tropical forests, rapids, lakes, endless stretches of beaches, mangroves and rocky coastline, not to mention the vast sea.
Trekking
Exploring Brazil's diverse ecosystems on foot puts travelers into direct contact with nature, tantalizing the senses with the sweet smells, sights, and sounds of the wild. While many methods of transportation such as boats, motorized vehicles or horses act as alarms for wildlife, trekking increases the chances of spotting animals many people will only see in books or on television, particularly in the fauna rich regions of the Amazon and Pantanal.
Shopping
In Salvador is possible to find goods of all kinds and qualities. Crafts are among the most sought after items by tourists, and are sold in areas like Pelourinho and Mercado Modelo. The Shopping Centers, with their comfortable infrastructure and service expertise, are spreading fast throughout the city and expanding the commercial activity, which used to be concentrated in the Comrcio area and on Sete de Setembro Avenue. There are also the fairs and popular markets. Not as common as the shopping centers, they are by no means less important, due to the cultural role they represent in the city.
Carnival
Carnival is a four-day event that changes dates every year. It begins forty days before the Catholic holiday, Lent (usually in February or in the beginning of March). Carnival is the peak holiday season in Brazil. Offices and businesses close during the festivities. Brazilians take time off and travel, so make sure to plan your trip well in advance. Remember, you are competing for a hotel room, not only with tourists from all over the world, but also with Brazilians.
