In the melting pot of Brazil, African, European and indigenous influences merge. The cultural heritage is as diverse as the country's nature. The Portuguese and Africans played an important role and left a lasting mark.
Portuguese influences can be seen in the architecture and art. African influences can be seen particularly in the cuisine, dance and music.

Brazil has a very rich history, which makes the country particularly exciting for visitors with a focus on history, culture and art.
