Goiana
city has a lot places to visit, such as the autodromo international de Goiana,
Parque Vaca Brava, Parque Veija-flor. Some of these places you need to pay a
ticket, like the autodromo international to enter but other places are cheap or
free to go. Goaiana is a beautiful city with a lot of restaurants and malls.
Goia has many typical foods such as, (1) Goias arroz com pequi, (2) Empadão goiano, (3) Panelinha, (4) Biscoito de queijo. Delicious plates. Pequi is a fruit native to Goiás, it is sweet and makes a perfect combination with rice and green onion. The empadão is a dough filled with queijo minas fresco. Panelinha is like a risotto with rice, beef, pepper, and pequi (traditional Goia fruit). The biscoito de queijo is a dough with cheese. Yummy!
If you want to find a place where you can
relax, you can go to this place called São Jorge, Goiás, Brazil. This is one of
the natural relaxing places that you can find in the state of Goiás. The water
is turquoise, clear and clean. It is a beautiful place to go during your
vacation. Refresh your body and clear your mind, in this peaceful place.
I can’t leave this post without
introduction of the typical bird of Goiás, the ema, or rhea in English. This is
a flightless bird that is native to South America. It is similar in size to an
emu or ostrich.
Obrigada pela informação! I really enjoyed your interesting post.
ReplyDeleteI am ready to go to Brazil! I have enjoyed how this class has allowed us to explore so many different parts of Brazil. I don't know where I want to visit first!
Goiás looks like a neat place. I had heard of an emu before but not an ema. Thank you for sharing with us about this bird. I would love to visit São Jorge. That water looks amazing!
I want to try the biscoito de queijo - delicious! I have never had fruit with my rice. So I would love to try goias arroz com pequi. I think the concept of the fruit and green onion is really unique.
Tchau!
Olá Lucia Thank you for the information!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely visit Goiás just to go swimming in those beautiful turquoise clear waters of São Jorge. I wouldn’t mind trying all those yummy foods you mentioned in your post. One that I would really like to try would be the Empadão goiano. I did a little bit of research and it has lingüiças “sausages”.
Thank you for introducing the ema. These birds do look like an ostrich.
I’m so ready to visit Brazil!! Brazil and it’s amazing landmarks including the nature parks are definitely on my trip list.
Ola Anali! That water definitely looks so refreshing! I didnt know those empadão had sausage! still looks delicious though!
DeleteOlá,
ReplyDeleteGoiás seems like a fun place to visit. The autodromo international de Goiana would be a cool experience. I would also like to go to São Jorge to relax and swim underneath the waterfall. The food also looks delicious. I would like to try the Empadão goiano and the Biscoito de queijo. I have also never heard of an ema but it does look very similar to an ostrich.
Boa tarde,
ReplyDeleteYes I'm ready to go to Brazil! This seems like a beautiful region to visit. The empadão looks especially delicious-- I would love to taste this dish!
Thank you for including information about the ema, I've never heard of this bird before. I wonder how similar it is to the emu and what differences there are between them. Wildlife isn't something I usually think of when I think of traveling to a new country, but it was interesting to read about this native South American Species!
Hey Michelle,
DeleteI agree South America has some unique ecology there. I think it would be interesting if that was included into the states because of the big span of brazil both north and south, east and west!
I find it so amazing how a lot of the places in Brazil have both the tropical and city life right next to each other. Living in Los Angeles my whole life has taught me to appreciate places like this because all I have a round me is city unless we drive out of the city for a few hours. Also the food looks amazing! I don't eat meat so all the food that I've seen is eatable for me and it looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteOí companheiros boa tarde,
ReplyDeleteBrazil is definitely a tropical place from head to toe, it has a lot of places to relax and be peaceful, Sao Jorge, Goiás reminds me of place in Chiapas, Mexico, where the water is turquoise and clean and its so beautiful because it doesn’t have a lot of tourism. The ema, looks like a heron, I haven’t heard of that bird before.
Thank you for your post
Bom dia
Boa tarde,
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of the bird! I always think the variation of wildlife around the world is so crazy and interesting. To answer your question, I would love to go to Brazil and just spend time looking at all of the animals and wildlife there. I bet there are so many cool things to find. I think sometimes they even find new species in Brazil, that have never been found before? That is SO crazy to me. Thank you for an awesome post!
Another amazing place in Brazil. Even though I love the Atlantic coast, I wish I can spend some time to try the food of the region. The Goias arroz com pequi looks very tasty from the photos you have in the post. Thank you for that.
ReplyDeleteRacing is very popular in Brazil. The city of Goiana offers an international racing center which is an event worth to watch.
What amazed me of Brazil is the right combination of modern architecture and modern ways of living and with natures and wild life.
Olá Lucia!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing post with lots of information. I am beyond ready to go to Brazil! All the different signature dishes, the fun activities that vary in each city and all the beautiful architecture just makes me want to hop on a flight right now! The Goias arroz is calling my name, I absolutely love rice so I definitely would have to make that my first meal if I were to travel out there! Thanks for sharing!
I am definitely ready to go to Brazil. I can't believe how many awesome places there are.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of that bird before, probably on planet earth. I stuck out to me for it's close relation to the ostrich as you mention. The food looks awesome as well
Hey Lucia,
ReplyDeleteGoiás is a pretty filled state for being so small. Filled with nature that is. I am suprised that these Brazilian states continue to have beautiful natural wonders in all of them. Its cool to see the eco-city planning in the video where there were still a lot of trees preserved.
