Brazil Diaries - III


The weather in Brazil is opposite to what we have in India here..... Fortunately, my friend advised me to get jacket/Umbrella etc however, it didn't came to my mind once to check actual weather condition there.
On reaching, I realized that during May-June (which was peak summer in India), it was chilling cold in Sao Paulo .. and temperatures went down to 4 degree Celsius with mild and heavy showers of rain. 
Anyways, I was covered for this weather, thanks to Nilesh :)
Continuing the journey, I got chance to visit two beautiful cities and world famous tourist places in Brazil.
One of those was Rio De Janeiro - A beautiful coastal city which is now more famous due to recently held Olympic games. You can visit mainly famous monuments and places of interest like Sugar loaf (mountain view where you can reach via cable car), Christo (Famous Christ monument) and of course the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. 
There is also a place called Escadaria Selarón (Selaron Steps', is a set of world-famous steps in Rio)






Next city is Foz de Iguazu (where you have the world famous Iguazu falls), a must visit if time permits. You can take bus (around 16 hours of one way journey) or book flight tickets in advance which will be faster journey of course,
Main attaractions are National park, falls and Bird Park. The bird park houses lots of varieties of exotic and latin american birds including Macau and Parrots.


There a city near Sao Paulo famous for European style houses and architect, known as Campos De Jordao.
