Enjoy Brazil ecotourism and get back to nature.
Brazil ecotourism is a relatively new phenomenon but one that has distinct advantages for the country itself and travellers that want to experience the natural beauty that Brazil has to offer. Brazil ecotourism can be experienced in various locations, from mountain ranges to beaches to the rainforest, and you do not need to take a tour to be able to experience it to its fullest.
Brazil ecotourism is one of the ways in which the tourism industry is helping to preserve the natural side of the country because recent urbanisation, including cross country travel links and the demand for more housing, has led to many areas of the country losing some of its most integral ecosystems, such as the Amazon (LINK – Brazil forest rain). This has happened as a result of logging and controlled fires to clear land, and thus deforestation. In fact, many of the creatures within the ecosystems there are becoming endangered or extinct as a result of this problem, but Brazil ecotourism has created a way to preserve the natural world and encourage travellers to visit at the same time!In terms of Brazil ecotourism, you can actually visit the country with the highest primate diversity, as well as the highest number of mammals (LINK – animals in Brazil) in the world with amphibian, butterfly, bird and reptile numbers also coming in the top five of the world. Many of them can actually be found on the island of Marajo, which is at the mouth of the Amazon. There are less than 200,000 living there so you have a unique experience with the island. The fact that there are few people around helps you to get back to nature and experience the ecosystem first hand. The prairies there are home to buffalo and zebra herds that are left to graze all year round, as well as being the location for fazendas in which you can stay and live with nature for the duration of your stay. The Pesqueiro beach is particularly beautiful and peaceful so you can relax and enjoy the nature around you, and the birdwatching there is fascinating, although there are plenty of other places from which you can birdwatch (LINK – Brazil birdwatching).
If you would like Brazil ecotourism a little differently then the lagoons and beaches of Lencois Maranhenses may be ideal for you. A national park, it features dunes and small villages that provide a haven for you to enjoy. It is just off Barreirinhas and can be reached via plane or boat. The views from above are spectacular but the ecosystem there is unique owing to the Brazil current (LINK – Brazil current). It is an absolute pleasure to behold and live within for the duration of your stay. An hour can de-stress you, so imagine what a few days can do!
Brazil ecotourism is an excellent way to unwind, get back to nature and enjoy the delights of a world so far removed from your own that it puts life into perspective. You will see exactly how much Brazil ecotourism means to the country and exactly how far it can go towards saving the natural world.
