LONDON, November 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Michael Palin highlights the beauty of
Brazil in his new show while Hayes
& Jarvis offer customers some great opportunities to explore
the country for themselves
Michael Palin is one of the most
respected travel broadcasters in the UK and around the world,
having fronted several popular BBC travel magazine shows such as
Pole to Pole (1991) and Full Circle (1997). Palin has
explored and documented a large percentage of our planet, his
whimsical, measured style has always been a hit with viewers. Next
on his list is the large, South American country of Brazil, soon to be catapulted onto the world
stage as it prepares to host the 2014 Football world cup and 2016
Olympic Games.
Palin's latest adventure is split over four episodes, each with
a unique theme as he uncovers distinct areas of the country from
the dense Amazon rainforest inland to the vibrant colourful cities
located along the coast. Discovering the places and people of
Brazil makes for a fascinating
journey for Palin, but Hayes & Jarvis customers can enjoy a
similar experience by taking advantage of some of the great
Brazilian hotels and resorts offered by the luxury long haul
specialist.
Some might assume that Brazil is all about Rio De Janerio, particularly since this city is
becoming ever more famous, but Brazil offers plenty of other lesser known
gems, and is a great place to explore the local culture or just
relax and enjoy the tropical climate. Praia do Forte is Brazil's answer to the classic Caribbean beach resort, but with added South
American vibes as well as basking on the beach, holidaymakers here
can bath in natural lagoons and marvel at the local wildlife as
turtles lay their eggs on the beach.
Iguazu is another Brazilian haven for nature lovers, exhibiting
one of the most visually arresting network of waterfalls in the
world, towering even higher than Niagra. Set in a national park
that also boasts toucans and butterflies, Igazu is perfect for the
holidaymaker who enjoys the great outdoors. Visitors can explore
from the comfort of a luxury hotel here, Hayes & Jarvis offer
both the Bourbon Cataratas and the Hotel Das Cataratas.
For something a little more upmarket, Buzios is just north of
Rio and is arguably Brazil's most
luxurious and fashionable resort. Made famous by Bridgette Bardot and voted in amongst the ten
most beautiful areas in the world, Buzios has all the credentials
of a jet-set holiday resort. Of course Hayes & Jarvis can offer
the hotel to match, customers can choose between the Porto Bay
Glenzhaus and the Serena Buzios.
Finally, Rio is the jewel in Brazil's crown, a fun-loving city set on the
Copacabana and Ipanema beaches between the Atlantic and the
mountains, all the while watched over by the iconic Christ the
Redeemer statue. Rio is about to become a world city so enjoy
before the influx of tourists arrive, or go on a reconciliation
meeting before going back for the sporting festivities that
are soon to envelop this already lively city.
