In 2010, a clown called "Tiririca" announced he would run for Congress in Brazil. He became the most-voted-for congressman of the election.

The revolution that transformed Brazil into a republic was so uneventful that the few witnesses present didn't know it happened and the dethroned Emperor didn't even care.

There's a prison in Brazil that allows inmates to pedal stationary bicycles, providing electricity to a nearby city in exchange for reduced sentences.

To get the real deal on cachaça, you need to get it from Brazil. Being the country’s national spirit, this sugarcane-based drink is readily available everywhere and local distilleries ensure you’re getting it as authentic as possible. The best place to get cachaça is in Paraty, a small coastal town in Rio de Janeiro that has plenty of great distilleries. You can try before you buy – the Gabriela cachaça is particularly good.

Cangas are essentially a Brazilian beach towel with multiple uses; it can be used as a scarf, a post-beach dress, a flowing skirt or a unique throw for your sofa. They are light and come in beautiful patterns, making it practical for the beach and a great souvenir to remember Brazil. The cangas designed as a Brazilian flag are especially popular among tourists.
