Brazil covers almost half of the continent. It is on its coast that you will find the most beautiful beaches in South America. And although you can also find a piece of paradise in the Caribbean Sea, the most beautiful beaches on the continent belong to Brazil. In the south of the country, facing the Atlantic, the beaches are wild, without coconut palms and golden sand. There are a lot of animals that are exotic for every European. These are sea lions, penguins, sea elephants. The beaches of South America facing the Pacific are another story. There are great conditions for surfing there. The most beautiful beaches on this side are in Ecuador. In the north of the continent, you can spread your towel on one of the paradise islands of Venezuela and Colombia.
