Brazil's Culture
As with many Southern American countries security is something to keep in mind when visiting on holidays but extra care and vigilance when in public areas will keep you and your party safe during your stay. Because Brazil is so diverse those on their holidays should be prepared to see very different sights, many lavish hotel complexes are only a mile or so from Favelas (shanty towns) which although fascinating are very unpredictable and not particularly safe, therefore visitors are advised to keep a distance. However the main areas a rich in exuberant people and culture and hold frequent street arties and celebrations which are known as the most extravagant and best in the world; a sight not to be missed.
