Adventure camping and picnics are usually the best outdoor activities that a family does on a holiday. The word camping usually strikes our mind with the view of an outdoor recreational activity that includes tents, lights, backpacks, etc. People usually prefer camping in rural areas, mountains, riversides, next to pristine beaches and other beautiful places. But there’s always a possibility of fierce winds blowing your way. With continuous beating of the wind tents tend to lose their ground it. Tents require proper protection from the blowing winds. Looking forward to this problem, Gelert introduced the new Gelert Breeze Blocker. The Gelert Breeze Blocker provides proper protection to the camper and the camp from the wind.

The Gelert Breeze Blocker also provides optional overhead protection and when the top canopy of the Gelert Breeze Blocker is not in use it can be folded and kept away. The Gelert Breeze Blocker is made up of 190T Polyester fabric, weighs just 3.5 kg and has dimensions of 500 x 140 cm. The PVC window of the Gelert Breeze Blocker offers protection from the wind without restricting the flow of light. The length of the Gelert Breeze Blocker is high enough to protect a group of people from wind and also protects the camping stove from blowing out. The Gelert Breeze Blocker includes 5 strong steel upright poles and is designed for an extremely quick and rigid formation. The base pole of the Gelert Breeze Blocker provides stable pitching of the Breeze Blocker and helps it in staying intact with the fierce wind blowing. The Gelert Breeze Blocker has bright guylines attached to it which enhance visibility and help the camper to view his/her camp from a far distance. The Gelert Breeze Blocker is available in two different colours i.e. Lakeside Navy/Blue Shadow and Fir/Frosted Green.

The Amazon, the largest river in the world and the Amazon forest, the largest forest, are the two attractions that pull hundreds and thousands of tourists to this country that once was a colony of the Portuguese. The influence of the Portuguese, the Dutch and the Spanish cultures is still reflected in many places and in the Portuguese language and culture of the people.

Once you land in Rio de Janeiro you will realise the paradise that this place is and the absolutely fantastic experience it’s going to be backpacking in this vast country. You can explore the Amazon basin, the Golden coast, the southern Brazil or just the areas around Rio, you just have to pick one and let yourself be entertained by the beautiful country.

The Amazon basin is too vast to be explored in a single visit and is so inviting that you’ll keep coming back to it time and again. The boat rides in Amazon are just awesome and breathtaking. One of the places you should visit is Manaus which is very famous for its best representation of the equatorial type of climate.

The beaches that inundate the coastline of Brazil are perhaps more popular than any other destination in Brazil. Copacabana and Ipanema are just two of the landmark beaches of Rio.

One thing that absolutely sets Brazil apart from any other part of the world is the numerous and colourful carnivals. You must plan your visit in a way that you get to be part of some of them. If you don’t see any of them then you can count your visit as incomplete.

But the one attraction that keeps Brazil always in news is Christ the Redeemer. (Brazil actually is a country of Roman Catholics.) The 38m high statue is looking over the city of Rio. It is situated on the top of Corcovado Mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park. This one image actually serves as a symbol of Brazil as a tourist destination.

So, you can easily choose Brazil as your backpacking destination but keep a few thing things in mind. You’ll need some extra time than for your usual backpacking journeys and you must keep track of the time when you should visit so as not to miss the carnivals.
