TRAVEL 25 23 7 Issue 48 / 2013 www.guestlist.net WELCOME TO BRAZIL! ON A BUDGET ISLANDS If you want to escape the typical tourist trails, go and spend some days on an island. Ilha de Boipeba: Even though going to this island takes a 30 min flight from Salvador, it is an amazing place. You can even call it "paradise on earth". Ilha de Marajo: This island amazes with the big variety of animals. You can not only find hundreds of different tropical birds, but also water buffaloes, if you are lucky EATING 5 PLACES TO GO THIS YEAR You can eat fresh food from a street vendor or visit the small snack barsthey not only sell fresh made fruit juices but also low price sandwiches. Be aware that big portions in restaurants are normal and are plenty enough for two people. One more tip: stick with traditional Brazilian food, it will always come cheaper. Ilha Grande: The island is close to Rio de Janeiro. With its beautiful beaches and cheap little hotels it´s the perfect place to relax. PARTYING TRAVELLING The best and cheapest way to travel around Brazil is on the bus. This way you can also see the big variety of flora and fauna in Brazil. The good adapted bus system brings you to all the big cities or small villages. If you stay in one city, using a taxi or the underground is another option. Of course the best way to explore the cities and see all the sights is by walking. Because of the strong tourism, especially during New Year´s and Carnival, hotel prices can triple and it doesn't help booking in advance. You shouldn't go between April and July as the city experiences a heavy rain period. Between December and March you should plan your day trips to the cities on the weekends, when everybody is off to the beach, then take advantage of the weekdays to relax on the now empty wide spread sands. The best time to visit the country is in September or October because of the warm weather we all crave! With so many cool things going on in the world, we thought we'd advise you on the best places to see this year. 1. Iceland - One of the rave hotspots of Europe. 2. Peru - Get your hiking boots and discover the ruins of the Incas. 3. Budapest - Enjoy one of the finest public bathhouses in the world. In winter! 4. Giza - Where else on earth can you go and see the pyramids? 5. Istanbul - Bazaars, boat rides, historical buildings and of course the nightlife.
