Brazil

Christ the Redeemer statue is undoubtedly the biggest icon Rio de Janeiro can be proud of. Of course, the best tourism activity in the world is the Mardi Gras season but beyond Mardi Gras, there’s actually more that this Portuguese-speaking country can offer.


Admittedly, Rio is often portrayed in movies as a slum. But actually, there are still lots of sights and tastes that Brazil can offer. One of the staples in Brazil is fejioada which is a stew of beans and pork. For backpackers who will be spending a weekend soiree in Brazil, this is one meal which you shouldn’t miss because this is what is called energy food.


One thing that I like about Brazil is that their national alchoholic beverage is cachaca which can also be a substitute for choco during breakfast. Wow, ain’t that yummy?
Acai Berries BowlBut if you want a dish that is really exotic, then try anything that is made from acai. Acai can only be found in the Amazon so if you want to taste what the natives of this beautiful rainforest are eating, then taste this particular kind of food.
Another delicious food is the Vatapa which is curried shrimp. It is really yummy. Try it.

Buenos Aires

Buenos Aires means good air in English so everything must be good in this capital of Argentina. Buenos Aires is actually the philatelic capital of South America so many stamp collecting hobbyists must be journeying in this city whole year round. Being a coastal city, the beaches in Buenos Aires are developed resorts just like their counterparts elsewhere. And the food here is awesome – authentic Argentinean cuisine.


One of the best foods that you may want to cherish here – whether you are a backpacker or simply having a family vacation – is asado which is actually beef barbecue. Barbecued beef? Now that’s something that Bobby Flay must be cooking! Yet it is available widespread here in Buenos Aires. Another delicacy is the bife de lomo which is actually Argentinean tenderloin cooked at its best.


Yet Buenos Aires restaurants also serve veggie dishes as well. Those are for tourists who love the artworks and architecture of the beef-laden city yet who are craving for fiber. Pizza here is different from New York or Italian pizza, it is more of a Spanish-inspired empanada way, owing to the city’s colonialism with Spain. So what are you waiting for? Have a great vacation here in Buenos Aires.
