Faraway Brazil has a solid "top five" in two statistical indicators at once: its territory and the number of inhabitants are in fifth place among other world powers. But the sea of Brazil and its famous beaches for many who have visited the country, "where there are many wild monkeys," definitely take first place on the podium of tourist honor.
Geographic details
When asked which sea washes Brazil, the locals answer with a smile and delight. Almost 7, 5 thousand kilometers of the shores of the distant republic are at the mercy of the Atlantic Ocean, which serves as both a resting place and a means of livelihood for millions of Brazilians. Ranked second in size, the Atlantic stretches from northern latitudes all the way to Antarctica, and is named after the ancient Greek hero Atlanta.
Interesting Facts
- The surface area of the Atlantic Ocean is more than 90 million square kilometers, and the ruggedness of its shores forms many inland seas.
- The salinity of the Atlantic waters is about 35 ppm.
- The volume of all water in the second largest ocean looks like a quarter of the volume of the World.
- The deepest point in the Atlantic is located at a point at the bottom in the Puerto Rican Trench - more than 8740 meters.
Beach vacation
Fans of the exotic, who are not embarrassed by long-distance flights, easily answer the question of which seas are in Brazil. In their opinion, the South American country can present a bright and serene vacation on hot beaches on the shores of the most beautiful ocean. The main city, where all fans of Brazil, without exception, strive - Rio de Janeiro. It is always summer here, and the water temperature on the beaches of Rio ranges from +25 degrees in January to +20 in July.
The main gathering place for all sunbathers is a four-kilometer strip of perfect sand with ocean waves rolling in with a measured rustle. This is how the famous Copacabana looks like, where it is customary to sunbathe and swim in the ocean during the day, and in the evening to meet the sunset and drink cocktails in the rays of the setting sun. Copacabana Beach has hundreds of cafes and restaurants serving authentic cuisine and culinary delights to suit every taste and budget. Here you can play beach soccer and take part in a volleyball tournament or, renting rollers, ride along the entire coastline and take pictures of the most beautiful girls in bikinis. Another important event in Brazilian culture is the annual February carnival, which is noisy and fun, and celebrating the New Year on the Brazilian sea is remembered for bright fireworks and swimming in the white foam of the ocean wave, which is undoubtedly more pleasant than the usual frosty snowdrifts.
