Among this year's national holidays, four will be extended, meaning they will fall on a Monday or Friday and connect with the weekend. There will be no shortage of options for when to take your trip. Therefore, we at Actio We've selected the five best destinations in Brazil for you to visit when you have some extra cash in your account due to your performance bonus, the PPR.
1- Florianópolis (SC)
Florianópolis is known to many as the ‘island of magic,’ and some people believe this name comes from its beautiful landscapes. However, the city's history is surrounded by tales and legends. It's believed that in the past, ghosts, werewolves, and even witches lived on the island. Did you know?
Legends are passed down from generation to generation and are present in various monuments around the city. Getting to know Floripa allows you not only to visit beautiful beaches, but also to connect with local history.
The city had Portuguese colonization, which can be clearly seen through the island's architecture and art. The cuisine, in general, is rich in fish and shellfish to take advantage of the best the place has to offer.
But Floripa doesn't just live on historical accounts, it's also very famous for its clubs. The nightlife in the capital is lively all year round. With an eclectic style, it's possible to find parties for all tastes.
In addition, Florianópolis has one of the highest human development indexes in Brazil, meaning the city's quality of life is excellent. Traveling to the island allows you to experience all these advantages in a beautiful location. Strolling peacefully is also a reality, as the crime rate is low. Therefore, don't hesitate to use your PPR to visit Floripa.
2- Gramado, Rio Grande do Sul
Located in the Serra Gaúcha, Gramado has won over numerous tourists over the years. Known as a piece of Europe on Brazilian soil, the charming city offers a wide variety of gastronomy, a mild climate most of the year, alpine chalets, and lots of chocolate.
From its beginning, Gramado already had a unique charm. According to accounts, the first inhabitants were not foreigners. However, later, the municipality was colonized by Italian and German immigrants. All this diversity resulted in a cultural plurality.
An interesting characteristic of Gramado is the difficulty of finding traffic lights on the streets. Unlike most Brazilian cities, there, drivers stop at crosswalks, and the entire flow proceeds in a very organized and calm manner.
Considered a must-see for tourists, the “crooked” street grabs the attention of passersby. Located next to the city center, this particular street is very different from the others. With a slope full of curves and beautiful gardens, it's impossible not to want to stop by for a photo.
For cinema lovers, the “Brazilian and Latin Film Festival of Gramado” is seen as one of the most traditional Brazilian events. This year, the festival will be held from August 11th to 19th at the Palácio dos Festivais. The ceremony features a red carpet on Rua Coberta during its entire opening, where artists and directors will be present.
There are plenty of activities when it comes to Gramado. Therefore, if you wish to visit one of the most elegant places in Brazil, be sure to check if you have some extra income in your account, the PPR.
3. Jericoacoara (CE)
Around the year 1614, the first records of the, until then, indigenous village were described. At the time, the location was the scene of a conflict between the French and the Portuguese and indigenous peoples. The French were defeated, and from this moment on, the Fort of Our Lady of the Rosary emerged, the place where the village of Jericoacoara is located today.
In the international arena, the spotlight turned to Jericoacoara in 1987. The Washington Post, in an article titled “THE BEAUTY AND THE BEACH,” described the beauty of the village, located in the interior of Ceará. In the publication, an American tourist described the place as “the most beautiful beach in Brazil.”.
Due to the great tourist interest, the village has been improving its infrastructure to better welcome visitors. The residents' houses, which were previously used for lodging, have given way to a large number of inns and hotels that have set up in the region. Furthermore, in 2017, the Cruz Regional Airport was inaugurated to facilitate access for people from all over the world to the village.
One of Brazil's most desired destinations, Jeri offers beautiful landscapes: dunes, beaches, lagoons, and even mangroves. The region emphasizes the importance of preserving the area, so the location is kept as well-maintained as possible.
Perfect for those who want to escape the chaos of the metropolis, the village has no traffic lights or asphalt roads. So, if you have some extra income, Jeri is the perfect destination to have unique experiences with your PPR.
4- Rio de Janeiro (RJ)
The "marvelous city" title is well-deserved. Rio de Janeiro offers visitors a stunning visual experience with its blend of beaches and hills amidst an urban sprawl.
Known for its world-famous beaches like Copacabana, Rio also has some less crowded beaches. Leme Beach, for example, is perfect for enjoying the sun in a more family-friendly environment where children can play on the sand without a care.
One of the main landmarks of the Marvelous City and considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Christ the Redeemer statue is eye-catching even from afar. Currently, you can visit Christ by train, car, or official vans. Upon arriving at Rio's postcard attraction, tourists are met with an incredible view; it's possible to see the Maracanã stadium, the Dois Irmãos hill, and Sugarloaf Mountain.
Rio's cuisine is also impressive. Even those with the most discerning palates will find something to love in this place. Many restaurants in the city adopt a ‘buffet’ style, meaning each individual can choose what they want to eat.
Finally, it's impossible not to want to venture to Sugarloaf Mountain, where you'll have a wonderful panoramic view of Rio de Janeiro. If you're interested in visiting this charming place, don't forget to plan ahead and set aside some extra money in your account, the PPR.
5 - Bonito (MS)
Located about 300km from the capital Campo Grande, Bonito pleases diverse visitor profiles, thanks to its lush landscapes and perfect activities for those who wish to venture through the area and enjoy the holiday in a calmer and more tranquil destination.
Bonito's tourism encourages the preservation of the region. In other words, most of the activities are carried out with the company of a tour guide, which allows travelers to better know the cerrado and Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul, as well as the region's flora and fauna, and venture into hard-to-access places that would be difficult to visit alone.
Bonito lives up to its name and is considered a great place to explore. One example is the Gruta do Lago Azul, which is a cave considered a natural monument in the city. Inside, there is an underground lake that reaches an intense blue color when sunlight enters. Additionally, the site has a concentration of Pleistocene mammal fossils and a collection of rare minerals, making the visit even more unforgettable.
If you prefer the countryside, you'll love visiting a farm in Bonito. One of the most sought-after destinations is ‘Fazenda Ceita Corê,’ where you can go horseback riding, birdwatching, and even participate in guided hikes.
It is also possible to enjoy the trip with a waterfall bath, or engage in more exciting activities, such as rappelling or zip-lining. The possibilities for activities in Bonito are enormous, so plan well to enjoy the best that the city has to offer you with your PPR.
