The BEST places in Brazil to visit, according to the New York Times

If you are in doubt about which places in the world to visit, as you don't want to take too many risks, the list published by The New York Times can be a good help. It will be possible to check out the best! There are options all over the world: from Japan to Brazil. This year, the list included two places in our country as one of the best places to visit.

How is the list made?

The ranking elected places that include paradisiacal beaches and mountainous regions.

According to the newspaper, to rank the following local aspects, it was considered: vast culture, gastronomy, adventure, natural areas and other elements that may attract the attention of travelers. And with a varied list, the two places in Brazil that made the list are Lençóis Maranhenses and the city of Manaus, displacing other paradises that the country has to show and the most famous cities, such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paul.

Lencois Maranhenses National Park

Entering the eleventh position on the list, the park is made up of white dunes and natural pools that were described by the newspaper as “supernatural”. To enjoy the region, trips are made in 4×4 vehicles, passing through the dunes and entering an exciting adventure where it is possible to contemplate the natural beauty of this place.

For those looking for leisure, rest and relaxation, the park is the perfect choice, but be prepared for the heat, because the place has very few places with shade, there are few trees and plenty of sun during the day. Best time to visit is in September because of its main lagoon, which is the perfect size at this time.

Manaus

The capital of Amazonas occupied the forty-first position in the ranking. Manaus is on the list because of its natural beauty and the local gastronomic experiences. The Amazonian ingredients used in the local cuisine have drawn attention for being unusual for many, but still very delicious.

One of the highlights in the newspaper was given to the Biatuwi indigenous restaurant, which has a Michelin star, the highest culinary award among restaurants. He brings together dishes with typical ingredients from the Amazon, such as ants, lemongrass and ribs from Tambaqui.
