Three things that will make you feel like a true Brazilian

Brazilians are known all over the world for being masters at having a great time. If you want to immerse yourself in any culture, you have to go beyond the obvious. A country reveals itself in the customs of its people. Get ready to live like a true brasileiro with our list of things you have to do when you come to visit us. Enjoy!

Sip coconut water at the beach

What better way to take a break from the blazing sun than by drinking fresh, ice-cold coconut water, straight from the fruit, while lazing/relaxing at the beach? That is only one of the things Brazilians love to do when they’re enjoying a day out. Just throw your towel on the sand, make sure you have something to snack on (or sit close to a good kiosk) and relax. Being at the beach is all about having the best time possible.

Experience street Carnival

One of the best things about Carnival is that there are all kinds of fun, you just have to be in your best spirits! And to be a true Brazilian, go along with one (or more!) of the country’s several Carnival block parties. Rio, Salvador, Olinda, and Recife are known for having the best street parties in Brazil, but many other cities, big and small, have their own celebrations.

Eat a feijoada

This is one of the best things to do in Brazil. The national dish feijoada is a pork and black beans stew which is enjoyed all over the country by all kinds of people. This is Brazilian soul food at its best: a wide variety of pork cuts (from the conventional to the more unorthodox – pork’s tail, anyone?) are cooked for hours with delicious beans and seasonings to create a rich and complex stew. Usually, locals have it on Wednesdays or Saturdays for lunch.
Restaurants will serve pots of feijoada with all the sides, which include rice, braised kale, crunchy toasted manioc flour, a pork chop and maybe even some pork crackling. It is one of the dishes you must try in order to truly understand what it’s like to be a Brazilian. You can also try other typical Brazilian dishes, such as pão de queijo, acarajé, coxinha, and açaí.
