Brazil - The Essentials
• As with the rest of Latin America, Brazilians tend to stand quite close when conversing and may touch you lightly on the hands, arms or shoulders.
• Steady eye contact is associated with sincerity.
• Take care and be vigilant. Valuables should not be on display.
• Always arrive late - nobody ever arrives on time for social meetings or parties and if you do you'll have quite a wait!
Random Fact
Ingrained deep within the Brazilian national identity, the samba is a lively, rhythmical dance with African roots. Both a dance and music genre, it is best witnessed during the vibrant Rio Carnival, although there are samba schools and musicians all over the country. It is said that a great samba dancer speaks with their feet and this can be observed in two main forms of the dance – the ‘samba no pe’ and the ‘samba gafieiro’.
