Brazil?!?

Posted by Polina F.

My fiancé and I just got back from a great vacation in Florida. We went to Key Largo, Key West and Del Ray Beach where we stayed with his brother.  It was so relaxing; we went swimming, snorkeling and ate amazing seafood.  I would highly recommend the Florida keys if you need a short, relaxing vacation and you like water sports related activities.

On the way back from vacation my fiancé says, “You know where I really want to go on my honeymoon? Brazil! Its so exotic and romantic.” Brazil?!?! We had been discussing the honeymoon prior to our vacation and had a few options selected: Hawaii, Costa Rica, Brazil. I thought Brazil was just thrown in there for the mix. I did not think he was really serious about it when he first mentioned it. I am a little nervous about traveling to Brazil, as I hear its not the safest country.  I am also not sure how much time we have for the honeymoon. I start a new job in a few weeks and I have ten days of vacation for this year, so I’m not sure if I can take off for more than one week or two weeks in a row. How much time does one really need to explore Brazil?

In my head, I picture a honeymoon to be very romantic with moonlight walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, hiking in beautiful nature and lots of relaxing. Can I do this in Brazil? I have been doing some research, but the country seems really huge, and I’m not sure where we would go in the given time frame and what we could do there.

Has anyone been to Brazil and have any suggestions on where we could stay and what we could do if we were to honeymoon there?

Hi! Been to Brazil many, many times (much of my husband’s family lives there). I can give you a couple of places to look at. I spent my honeymoon here: http://www.nannai.com.br. It’s a bit of a trek but well worth it. Another option is to go to Rio (there are some beautiful and reasonable hotels on the beach) and then take a short trip to Buzius, which is a little fishing village with gorgeous beaches (i’ve stayed here: http://www.viladeste.com.br/). There are also some amazing eco-resorts like Itacare and Txai.
It’s a great place to travel, the people are fantastic and very welcoming! E-mail me if you want more info…
