Booking Brazil cultural holidays with Travel Brazil Selection is the ideal way to discover a wealth of Brazilian sites!  For lovers of colonial history and art, a stay in the Minas Gerais region in the South East of Brazil is a must.  Minas Gerais was the land of the earliest gold rushes, and is home to towns such as Mariana, the oldest, and Tiradentes, the smallest of the region’s cidades historicas; UNESCO heritage site and baroque art treasure Ouro Preto; Congonhas, site of the Bom Jesus de Matosinhos sanctuary; and Sao Joao del Rey, known for its cultural life, including several orchestras.

Head to the Nordeste region of Brazil to discover Olinda, the “town with seven hills”, packed with colonial architecture and houses in a glowing palette of colors, and take a trip to nearby Recife, often dubbed the Venice of the tropics.  Learn more about these and other options for Brazil cultural holidays at http://www.travel-brazil-selection.com/by-themes/cultural-vacations

Between the Minas Gerais and North lies the Bahia region, perhaps the heart of Brazilian culture.  A choice of Bahia vacation packages is available, including stays in superb seaside resorts such as Praia do Forte, Morro de São Paulo and Itacaré.  Many vacationers will, of course, wish to make for the region’s capital, Salvador de Bahia.  Stroll through Pelourinho, the famed historical quarter of this enchanting town, visit the “Golden Church”, the colonial baroque art masterpiece Igreja and Convento of Sao Francisco, or meet the “senhor do Bonfim” at the patron saint’s church.  Bahia is also the birthplace of candomblé, a fusion of African and Christian faiths, and travelers can visit a “terreiro,” where the religion’s rites take place.

Travel Brazil Selection’s Bahia vacation packages are also the ideal opportunity to take in a “capoeira” display, to taste the local cuisine – Bahia cooking is known for its delicious fish dishes – or to discover the infectious rhythms and melodies of Brazilian traditional and popular Axé music, without forgetting, of course, carnival!  Take a look at the many facets of Bahia vacation packages at http://www.travel-brazil-selection.com/brazil/bahia
