2026 Codajas Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

On January 23 local time, Brazilian President Lula officially announced that Brazil will implement a visa-free policy for certain short-term visa categories for Chinese citizens, in response to the visa-free treatment China offers to Brazilian citizens. This marks a milestone moment in the history of China-Brazil relations! Brazil is the largest economy in Latin America and the fifth most populous country in the world. Previously, only Ecuador and Suriname offered visa-free access to Chinese citizens. Brazil’s inclusion signifies a major breakthrough for the Chinese passport in the South American region. Brazil boasts world-class natural and cultural attractions such as the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls, the Amazon Rainforest, and the historic center of Salvador. With its multicultural blend, passionate samba festivals, football culture, and tropical charm, Brazil offers a unique appeal. This visa-free policy greatly lowers travel barriers, making deep exploration of South America more accessible. From Southeast Asia to the Middle East, from Latin America to Europe, the visa-free circle continues to expand. To date, holders of ordinary Chinese passports can visit over 90 countries and regions visa-free or with visa on arrival. Brazil’s addition makes traveling to South America truly a “go whenever you want” experience! Note: The specific implementation details of the policy will be announced by Brazilian authorities later. It is recommended to check the latest entry requirements before traveling.

Amazon Night Hiking Adventure 🌙 A 3-day Amazon rainforest tour! On the second day, we followed the guide into the jungle at night, and the thrilling yet soothing experience was truly unforgettable✨ Deep in the forest, the guide asked everyone to turn off their flashlights, and we were instantly enveloped by the profound darkness of the Amazon🌳. Without the light pollution of the city, we finally experienced true "pitch blackness." Occasionally, we spotted fireflies🪲 flying around, their tiny glimmers floating in the darkness, like a real-life version of a starry dream! Surrounding us was a free symphony of the forest🎶—the soft chirping of insects, the croaking of frogs, and the unique calls of nocturnal birds, all weaving together into the most natural melody.

my journey in the Amazon Rainforest starts in Manaus, Brazil…on a tiny boat with local driver I go along the Rio Negro followed by Rio Amazonas and in a day I’m in the largest tropical rainforest in the world (48 times the size of USA!). What’s the feeling? As soon you are of the boat you feel disoriented…everywhere vegetation, so dense that cannot even see the sky! And what is even more special is that daytime is so quite…looks like nobody is there, but as soon the sun goes away…the music begin! It’s like millions of the creatures living in the forest wake up and start chatting in different languages! unbelievable sound…that goes all night! my experience of living in the Amazon forest even for just few days has been a wonderful experience! and the villagers are very friendly:) #2023travelwish #lucaworldtraveler

Just finished a long summer trip in Brazil, where the southern hemisphere’s peak summer brings out the full passion of this land! Rainforests, beaches, canyons, and cityscapes all in one view. With huge temperature differences between the north and south, here’s a comprehensive self-guided travel guide packed with tips to help you avoid most common travel issues✨ 🌡️Summer travel overview Brazil’s summer runs from December to February, with distinct regional climates. Southeast cities like Rio and São Paulo are hot and humid, with daytime temperatures reaching around 35℃. The central plateau is hot during the day but cools noticeably at night. The northern Amazon rainforest stays hot and humid, with short afternoon thunderstorms. The southern Iguaçu Falls area is very humid, feeling even hotter near the water. Pack breathable short sleeves, a lightweight windbreaker, full waterproof gear, high-SPF sunscreen, and strong insect repellent. For long travel days, bring soft, comfortable hiking shoes. 📍Itinerary plan | 13-day relaxed self-guided trip Day 1–Day 3 Rio de Janeiro coastal city Arrive in Rio and take time to adjust to the summer heat. Slow down your pace and visit the Christ the Redeemer viewpoint, Sugarloaf Mountain bay, and the long Copacabana beach. In the evening, stroll through the beachside neighborhoods to soak up the lively atmosphere. Avoid intense travel schedules. Day 4–Day 6 Iguaçu Falls secret loop Take long-distance transport to the border waterfall area. Spend two days exploring waterfalls on both sides, hiking canyon trails to get close to the mist. Take a boat ride near the water’s impact zone for an immersive experience of the massive water curtain. Stay overnight in the waterfall town to rest. Day 7–Day 9 Amazon rainforest light experience Travel long-distance to the small town at the rainforest entrance. Follow a local guide into the forest interior, hiking to learn about unique plants and animals. Take a river boat to enjoy the rainforest scenery on both sides. Join a night tour to observe nocturnal animals. Day 10–Day 11 São Paulo urban slow travel Head to the inland metropolis. Walk through the old town’s European-style streets and parks, visit specialty markets for handmade goods, experience the diverse culture of a South American city, and try various local snacks. Day 12–Day 13 Return and rest buffer Return to Rio’s coastal area. Relax by walking along the shore, shop for local souvenirs, and leave plenty of free time to pack and wait for your return trip calmly. 📸Top photo spots 1. Rio Christ the Redeemer viewpoint⛰️ Stand on the platform with the giant Christ statue in the background, the city and Atlantic bay below. On clear days, the blue sky complements the mountain, sea, and city views. Early mornings have fewer tourists and soft light perfect for portraits. Light-colored outfits work well with the open scenery. 2. Copacabana beach coastline🌊 Golden sandy beach stretches alongside clear blue sea, lined with coconut trees and colorful umbrellas as natural backdrops. At sunset, the sea turns orange-red. Walk along the coast to capture dynamic atmosphere shots. 3. Iguaçu Falls canyon trail💦 Massive waterfalls cascade surrounded by lush green forest. A wide-angle lens can capture the full circular water curtain. Mist creates a natural soft-focus effect. Near the water, you can photograph rainbows reflected on the surface—unique scenery. 4. Amazon rainforest river canoe🌴 Dense green rainforest flanks the calm river. Sitting in the canoe, shoot at eye level with reflections covering the water. After rain, mist rises in the forest, enhancing the secretive atmosphere. Solid-colored clothing contrasts softly with the deep greenery. 5. Rio old town colorful tiled stairs🎨 Steps covered with colorful hand-painted tiles, layered with exotic artistic vibes. Stair corners and platforms are great for walking shots. Tropical flowers decorate the streets, adding vibrant colors to casual photos. 🍤Authentic local food recommendations 1. Brazilian barbecue Churrasco Charcoal-grilled meats with a crispy outside and tender inside, rich in flavor. Local old restaurants serve various grilled items in rotation. In summer, pair with refreshing fruit drinks. Sharing with friends enhances the experience. 2. Black bean stew Feijoada A national classic home dish, slow-cooked black beans with smoked meat. Thick, hearty broth restores energy quickly after travel. Authentic flavors found in old town street eateries. 3. Caipirinha fruit cocktail Lime mixed with sugarcane spirit, sweet and refreshing. Order one while strolling by the sea to cool off from the summer heat. The light buzz fits the beach vacation vibe. 4. Cheese cassava bread Small, soft, and chewy cheese snacks with a slightly firm crust and rich milky flavor. Available at markets and street shops. Easy to carry for hiking or travel snacks. 5. Tropical mixed fresh fruit plate Mango, guava, passion fruit, and pineapple are very sweet. Sold by portion at markets at affordable prices. Eating fresh fruit in hot weather quickly rehydrates and cools you down. 🏨Comprehensive accommodation guide Rio coastal resort Choose lodging near Copacabana beach, just minutes’ walk to the sand. Some rooms have balconies with views. The area is full of restaurants and shops, convenient for daily needs, perfect for relaxing by the sea. Iguaçu Falls town guesthouse Stay in low-rise cabins near the waterfall park. Short walks lead to trails. Rooms come with waterproof towels and drying facilities to handle the humid mist. Breakfast and light meals are provided. Amazon rainforest forest cabin Built on river high ground to avoid flooding, with fine mosquito nets to keep insects out. Surrounded by tropical greenery, quiet and peaceful at night. Guides and forest tours can be arranged through the lodge. São Paulo old town boutique guesthouse Located in the old town’s European-style district, preserving vintage courtyard architecture. Close to markets and art galleries. Situated on flat terrain with convenient transport to city areas. Wide range of room and budget options. ⚠️Summer travel pitfalls to avoid 1. The distance between Brazilian cities and rainforests is huge. Don’t overpack your daily itinerary. Allow rest breaks during long trips to avoid exhaustion. 2. You can politely bargain for wooden carvings, fabrics, and handmade jewelry at markets. Buying multiple items often gets better prices. Politely decline street vendors pushing tours or souvenirs to keep your itinerary flexible. 3. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in the northern rainforest during summer. Trails get very slippery when wet. Wear shoes with good grip. Mosquitoes are active; apply plenty of insect repellent on exposed skin and wear thin long sleeves for protection. 4. If you encounter wild animals in the forest or countryside, observe quietly from a distance. Do not feed, chase, or disturb them. This protects your safety and the animals’ natural habitat. 5. UV rays are very strong across the country in summer. Whether at the beach, plateau, or rainforest, always carry a sun hat, sun shawl, and high-SPF protection. Long outdoor exposure can cause sunburn easily. 6. When visiting churches or traditional local neighborhoods, avoid wearing overly short or thin clothing. Bring a light shawl to adjust your outfit. Dress appropriately to enter indoor attractions smoothly. Ask locals politely before photographing them. 7. Supplies are more expensive in rural and rainforest areas. Buy drinking water and basic snacks in large towns before heading to remote areas to save money. Eat cooked food fresh in hot weather to avoid spoilage and stomach issues. 8. The midday sun is harsh at popular spots like Christ the Redeemer and waterfalls, causing overexposed photos. For clean shots without crowds, visit early in the morning. 💡Additional summer travel tips Plan activities to avoid peak sunlight: beach visits in early morning or evening; waterfalls and city landmarks in the morning; complete rainforest tours before afternoon rain. Exchange foreign currency at official shops in towns, comparing rates before exchanging. For long-distance travel, choose well-established bus services with water and rest stops. Carry only small amounts of cash and keep valuables secure. In crowded beach and busy street areas, keep backpacks in front to reduce the risk of losing items.

The world’s first artificial intelligence art museum DATALAND officially opens to the public on June 20, 2026. Located in The Grand LA complex in downtown Los Angeles, designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, it is one of the newest key cultural institutions in the Grand Avenue Cultural District. DATALAND is conceived as a “living museum,” where the building is no longer static but part of an intelligent framework. Staying true to its original vision, DATALAND uses the most advanced technology to redefine artistic expression in the age of machine intelligence. Founder Refik Anadol said, “A living museum is like a living being, changing every day. It listens, responds, and continuously forms new memories.” What does “living” mean? The museum itself is an interface that perceives, computes, and responds. It doesn’t display artworks; it is the artwork. To achieve this, the team spent 3 years writing over 10 million lines of code. Eighty-four 4K projectors and 1,577 LED panels create a panoramic art space with 1.5 billion pixels. This is not just “playing” videos; it’s painting with data. The inaugural exhibition, Machine Dreams: Rainforest, focuses on tropical rainforests. DATALAND aims to understand the rainforest as a complex ecological intelligence system: plants, animals, fungi, climate, humidity, sounds, and terrain together form a constantly evolving database. At the core is a generative AI model called the Large Nature Model (LNM). Its training data comes from natural history museums and research institutions worldwide, as well as field collections from 16 tropical rainforests globally—over 1.2 billion ecological data points, including images of Amazon rainforest flora and fauna, bird call spectrums, weather readings, and more—all transformed into a never-repeating digital canvas. Upon entering the exhibition hall, a 360-degree panoramic screen unfolds, with light and shadow flowing through the space, intertwined with bird calls, rain sounds, and various natural noises. The air occasionally carries the scent of plants and earth. But the most unique feature is that this rainforest “remembers” you. Each visitor receives a wristband that senses physiological signals like heart rate and skin conductance. This data is fed back to the system in real time, influencing the colors, flow, and structure of the visuals. Meanwhile, a small device worn on the chest releases 12 different fragrances designed by L’Oréal’s luxury scent team, dynamically switching based on real-time biological data. The same space presents completely different states at different times and for different audiences. DATALAND also built a digital memory system called Connectome, which acts as the museum’s “neural network.” Interaction data left by each visitor is recorded by the system and influences future generated content. The exhibition does not reset after closing each day; like a living being, it continuously accumulates, changes, and grows.

When you think of Brazil, is soccer and samba the first thing that comes to mind? This trip aims to show you something different. The 2026 visa-free policy for Chinese travelers makes this distant country suddenly within reach. Beyond its passion, Brazil has a natural sense of ease, like the local word “Saudade,” a deep, emotional feeling. This article skips the usual travelogue and shares a few moments that I keep coming back to. Rio de Janeiro: god’s view and everyday life Highlights: Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Selarón Steps, Copacabana Beach. Avoid the crowded afternoon visit to Christ the Redeemer. I recommend taking the first train up the mountain at 8 AM. In the morning light, with mist still lingering, the whole city wakes up beneath your feet. At that time, the view is so peaceful you can almost have it to yourself. Don’t rush down—head to Sugarloaf Mountain to catch the sunset. Take two cable cars up and watch the sun turn Guanabara Bay golden, with the silhouette of Christ the Redeemer in the distance. The Selarón Steps are a place that lifts your spirits. Chilean artist Jorge Selarón created these 250 steps from tiles from over 60 countries—you can look for a piece of Chinese blue-and-white porcelain. In the evening, stroll along Copacabana Beach, buy a few reais worth of coconut water, and watch locals jogging, playing soccer, and dating. The nights here are safe and lively. Food tip: The essence of Brazilian barbecue in Rio is picanha (top sirloin cap). At churrascarias, there’s a red and green card on the table—flip it to green, and the cowboy-hatted servers will keep slicing meat until you’re satisfied. Don’t miss the ubiquitous juice bars on the street—try the açaí bowl, a purple-black smoothie mixed with granola and banana, a local super breakfast. Iguazu Falls: standing before the devil’s throat Highlights: Devil’s Throat, waterfall walkways, waterfall speedboat. If Rio is beauty, Iguazu is awe-inspiring. Viewing Iguazu from the Brazilian side offers the best panoramic views. Walk along the boardwalk to the base of the Devil’s Throat—so much mist you can’t open your eyes, the roar shakes your chest. It’s a feeling of being struck by the power of nature. For the brave, take the speedboat ride under the falls. Put on a raincoat—the boat goes right under the waterfall, and getting soaked is guaranteed. The screams and thrill are unforgettable. Nearby is the bird park, where you can see Brazil’s national bird, the toucan, and colorful macaws. Amazon rainforest: pink dolphins and jungle laws Highlights: departure from Manaus, jungle trekking, piranha fishing, pink dolphin watching. Once you leave Manaus by boat and lose phone signal, you truly enter the Amazon. I recommend staying two nights in a treehouse or riverboat in the jungle. At 6 AM, take a small boat to see pink river dolphins. At dawn, mist floats over the river, and the pink dolphins surface to breathe—a surreal, dreamlike scene. Guides lead jungle treks, teaching you which tree bark can reduce fever and how to hunt with blowguns. At night, use a flashlight to spot caimans—their red eyes glow like little bulbs in the dark. Try grilled giant catfish in the Amazon—the firm meat has few bones and tastes fresh with a squeeze of lime. Lençóis Maranhenses and colonial towns: a full sense of time travel Highlights: Lençóis Maranhenses National Park, Ouro Preto. Lençóis Maranhenses is truly an “alien landscape.” From June to September, thousands of blue-green lagoons form between white sand dunes. Climb barefoot to the top of a dune and jump into the cool water below—swimming in a desert is an incredible feeling. To experience colonial Brazil, visit Ouro Preto. This World Heritage town hidden in the mountains has stone-paved streets. The seemingly simple baroque churches inside are covered with hundreds of kilos of gold carvings and murals, a luxurious trace of the “black gold” era. Travel tips 1. Visa-free policy: From May 11 to December 31, 2026, Chinese citizens with ordinary passports can enter Brazil visa-free for a total stay of up to 30 days. 2. Safety reminder: In big cities like Rio and São Paulo, avoid going alone to remote streets at night and don’t use your phone while walking on the street. When visiting favelas, always go with an official guide—do not explore on your own. 3. Language and payment: The official language is Portuguese, and English is not widely spoken. Download a translation app in advance. Remember to bring a Visa or Mastercard credit card; many places also accept UnionPay. 4. Local taboos: In Brazil, the “OK” hand gesture is very rude. If locals give you a gift, open it in front of them—they believe it brings good luck.

#kindnessontheroad Deep within the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, the Rio Negro (Black River) flows dark and mysterious, its waters stained by tannins from decaying vegetation. On a river expedition out of Manaus, we stopped at a small indigenous community belonging to the Tuyuka people. There, I met a curandero(a traditional healer/shaman) named Antonio. He was an elderly man with intense eyes, wearing a loincloth and adorned with intricate beadwork. I had been suffering from a persistent bout of traveler's diarrhea and a general sense of malaise, likely from the humidity and unfamiliar bacteria. While Western medicine was an option, I was curious about traditional practices. Antonio performed a limpieza(cleansing). He didn't use the famous Ayahuasca; instead, he used mapacho—strong, unfiltered jungle tobacco. He lit a cigar and blew smoke over my head, chest, and feet, chanting softly in the Tukano language. The smell was overwhelming, acrid, and earthy. Then, he chewed a handful of bitter leaves and spat them onto my arms and legs. He explained, through a translator, that the tobacco smoke carries prayers to the spirit world to remove "panema" (bad luck or negative energy), and the leaves draw out the sickness. He finished by offering me a gourd of caxiri, a mildly fermented cassava beer, which is considered a sacred bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds. Drinking it is a sign of respect and acceptance of the healing. Was it a placebo? Perhaps. But I slept better that night than I had in weeks. This experience highlighted the importance of respecting indigenous knowledge. If you participate in such rituals, do so with humility and an open mind. Never take photos without explicit permission, and always offer a gift—tobacco, beads, or food—in return. The Rio Negro isn't just a river; it's a living entity to those who call it home.

#kindnessontheroad Venturing into the remote Upper Orinoco basin, deep within the Venezuelan-Brazilian Amazon bordering Yanomami indigenous territory, requires meticulous preparation. After days of navigating rugged trails and river crossings, I felt the unmistakable onset of malaria symptoms: chills, fever, and profound weakness. My small expedition group was fortunate to encounter a Yanomami shaman, a wayuu, near a communal shabono. Understanding our predicament through our local guide, the shaman performed a brief but intense ritual. He crushed specific leaves and bark—identifying them as kaa-tepuand hiari—into a paste, applying it to my temples and wrists while chanting rhythmic prayers to the forest spirits, believed to drive away the "fever demon." Simultaneously, he brewed a bitter tea from another plant, instructing me to sip it slowly. While modern antimalarials are essential (always consult a travel clinic beforehand!), witnessing this traditional healing practice was humbling. It highlighted the Yanomami's profound pharmacological knowledge accumulated over millennia. However, it’s crucial to note: this experience occurred under strict ethical guidelines, with prior community consent facilitated by our guide, respecting their autonomy and privacy. Photography was forbidden, and we provided agreed-upon supplies as reciprocity. Visiting such sensitive areas demands extreme respect: never enter indigenous territories uninvited or without a knowledgeable, ethically-aligned guide. Support community-based ecotourism initiatives that directly benefit the people. Their knowledge is invaluable, but it’s theirs to share—or not. How do you balance respectful cultural immersion with protecting vulnerable indigenous communities during your travels?

#kindnessontheroad Deep within the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve in Ecuador, the rainforest floor is a treacherous mosaic of mud, roots, and hidden dangers. Wearing only lightweight trail runners (a mistake I won't repeat), I felt a sharp, burning pain in my foot. I had stepped on a bristle or thorn, but this felt different—immediate and throbbing. My local Kichwa guide, Antonio, immediately halted the group. Without a word, he pulled out a small, folded leaf, chewed it into a pulp, and applied it to the entry wound. Then, using a sterilized thorn from a palm tree and his keen eyesight, he dug into my skin and extracted a tiny, barbed spine from a "Poison Dart Frog" mimic or a similar venomous insect. He explained that the plant poultice would draw out the venom and reduce swelling. He then insisted we rest for an hour while he brewed a bitter tea from a vine, making me drink it to "cool the blood." He lectured me gently about the importance of rubber boots in primary rainforest, not just for snakes, but for these microscopic threats. Thanks to his quick thinking and traditional medicine, the pain subsided quickly, and I avoided a potential systemic reaction. Always wear proper ankle-high, thick-soled boots in the Amazon, and never underestimate the knowledge of indigenous guides.

I did a 5-day tour in Reserva Manu. It was quite an experience to descend from the highlands into a very unique part of the Amazon and spend some days there. I especially enjoyed the scenery—imagine floating down a river in the Amazon and still seeing snow-capped Andes in the distance—and the bird life, which was very unique, colorful, and abundant. Joseph was friendly, attentive, and safety-conscious. He shared a lot of local knowledge about the people, animals, and history of the region. I plan to return someday for a longer trip to see more of Manu.

Some destinations are famous for their scenery; Peru, however, draws countless travelers from afar because of an ancient civilization. 🚆 Take a scenic train journey through the Sacred Valley, slowly traveling along the Urubamba River. Snow-capped mountains, canyons, rivers, and terraced rice paddies flash past the windows, each scene like a scene from a movie. When the train reaches the foot of the mountains, the real Peruvian story begins. 🏔 Ascend to Machu Picchu-Cusco, known as the "City in the Sky." This ancient Inca city, built in the 15th century, is nestled against the mountainside and has stood majestically for centuries. Stroll among the temples, terraces, and ancient stone walls, gazing at the mountains and sea of ​​clouds, and feel the greatest architectural marvel left to the world by the Inca civilization. Standing on the observation deck overlooking the entire ruins, at that moment, you will understand why it is on the must-see list for countless travelers. 🏛 Explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site—the ancient city of Cusco. Once the capital of the Inca Empire, it still retains its profound historical imprint. Massive Inca stone walls blend seamlessly with Spanish colonial architecture, while ancient streets, squares, and churches tell a story of cultural exchange.
