“Smell it?” the taxi driver asks, driving us through the streets of Rio de Janeiro. I sniff the air, wondering what he’s thinking: the purple flowers on the curb? A hint of trash? Then I catch something else, something rich, an aroma that’s indefinably earthy. »That’s it,« he says in triumphant acknowledgment. “That’s the smell of Brazil.” — Bella Pollen

This time we will meander between world-famous beaches, gigantic modern cities, untamed, wild nature and charming colonial towns. A country that, despite many problems, old and new, continues to attract tourists from all over the world.

Are you curious about what Brazil smells like? What is caipirinha and what is feijoada? Which trees bloom the most beautifully, where does acai grow and where does caju grow? Can you imagine sugar cane as fuel for a car? We will learn the most important and most appreciated phrases in Brazilian culture that open many doors and hearts, taste mate tea and more.
