Nature & Parks in Brazil

Brazil's diverse landscapes range from the Atlantic Forest to unique geological formations. This selection includes Rio de Janeiro’s Tijuca National Park, the world’s largest urban rainforest, and the white sand dunes and seasonal lagoons of Lençóis Maranhenses. Visitors can explore the crystalline waters of Blue Lake Cave in Bonito or the glass-domed greenhouse in Curitiba’s Botanical Garden. From the bird sanctuaries of Foz do Iguaçu to the UNESCO-listed grasslands of Emas National Park, these sites preserve Brazil’s endemic flora and fauna.
