Time now, current time in the world

The Amazon jungle, the gold of Rio de Janeiro beaches, the subtle aroma of coffee, the roar of mighty waterfalls - all this, like a magnet, attracts millions of tourists from all over the world to Brazil. In addition, the beaches in the country are world-famous (Copacabana alone is worth something), the sea is warm and clear, and tourists invariably speak with bated breath about Brazilian cuisine and Brazilian women. One sad thing: only travelers with very large wallets can get into this fairy tale  - the high cost of tours to Brazil, which depends primarily on the price of a transatlantic flight, has an effect.

 

The famous Brazilian Carnival is another popular lure for tourists. Travelers who go here for the carnival procession are more demanding about the quality of their rest and usually book 5-star hotels. But almost no one comes here with children.

 

Cities and regions. The capital of the country is Brasilia. Resorts are Angra dos Reis, Buzios, Salvador. A full list of Brazilian towns is on the page Cities and Resorts of Brazil.

 

Sunny Brazil is located in four time zones: UTC−5, UTC−4, UTC−3, and UTC−2. At the same time, some regions (Central-West, South, and Southeast) switch to summer time.

 

You can't drink tap water in Brazil, but you can and should use sunscreen. Also, tourists must be extremely careful when dealing with money and valuables on the streets to avoid attacks by hooligans.

 

Swimming on most beaches in the country has one unpleasant feature: strong ocean currents run along the coast, posing a certain danger to a bather unfamiliar with the local waters. These currents form dangerous "standing" waves, creating a powerful surf zone.
