I might even do another post with 10 more dishes! So, here are some dishes you CAN’T go to Brazil without eating! (By the way, it’s not a Brazilian dish if there are no rice and beans on the side!  Brazilians will ask you were the rest of lunch is if you make a plate of food with no rice and beans!) 1.         1.

Places to Visit in Brazil - First stop; Pirenopolis!

         Welcome to Pirenopolis!       Pirenopolis, also known as 'Piri," is a vibrant, historic town in the state of Goias, Brazil.         Pirenopolis is a touristic town,  mainly known for its waterfalls. There is also festivals, farmers markets, folkloric events, air balloon rides, and four-wheeling in the forest. People drive from all over Brazil to visit Pirenolopis, and I have the honor to say that my in-laws live in this beautiful place.      The best part of the this town is the fact that you can walk everywhere and see the old, small buildings with boutiques, outdoor small bars and cool local items being sold.

You can go to the Southeastern part of Brail and eat some of best Pao de Queijo (cheese bread) of Minas Gerais or go to the North of Brazil and eat some of the oldest traditional food, where the first capital of Brazil was, in Salvador. You can wake up with the sounds of a toucan outside your window and wake up to a strong shot of Brazilian coffee. A very unique country and a place I love to go, Brazil. Anywhere you go in Brazil, you will find diverse people, food and traditions in diverse places. What you will find in everyplace is the feeling of the "Brasili...
