How to Dial a Brazilian Number
Brazil's country code is +55. After it comes a 2-digit city area code, then the subscriber number. There's one important quirk: Brazilian mobile numbers require a digit 9 inserted before the 8-digit number — this is a nationwide standard for mobile phones.
Key city codes: São Paulo — 11, Rio de Janeiro — 21, Brasília — 61, Salvador — 71, Fortaleza — 85, Manaus — 92.
Type the full number starting with +55 on the Give a Ring dial pad and the app handles the rest.
🇧🇷 Surprising & Funny Facts About Brazil
The Amazon: Lungs of the Planet
Brazil holds about 60% of the Amazon rainforest — the largest on Earth. It's home to over 40,000 plant species, 1,300 bird species, and roughly 3,000 fish species — more freshwater fish than in the entire Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon produces so much oxygen that scientists call it the planet's lungs. It also absorbs roughly the same amount, but that's a detail scientists prefer not to lead with.
Football Capital — With One Famous Heartbreak
Brazil is the only country to have competed in every FIFA World Cup since 1930. Five titles. Pelé. Ronaldo. But in 1950, Brazil lost the final to Uruguay at home in Rio's Maracanã stadium in front of 200,000 fans — a loss so traumatic it has its own name: the Maracanazo. Journalists compared it to a natural disaster. Brazil still finished second.
Portuguese — But Not As Portugal Knows It
Brazil is the world's largest Portuguese-speaking country, with more Portuguese speakers than Portugal and all other Portuguese-speaking nations combined. The Brazilian variant has drifted so far from European Portuguese that mainland viewers reportedly watch Brazilian TV series with subtitles. The Brazilians consider this a compliment.
Biodiversity Champion of the World
Brazil ranks first globally in total number of species of plants, freshwater fish, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. Around 3,000 butterfly species alone. Over 100 species of poison dart frogs. And electric eels in the rivers capable of a 600-volt discharge. Nature here is not understated.
Carnival: Four Days That Take a Year to Prepare
Rio Carnival is the largest annual event on the planet: over 2 million people on the streets per day. Samba schools begin preparing for next year's parade the morning after this year's ends. Millions of dollars go into costumes and floats. All for four nights of procession. Anyone who spends months decorating for New Year's should feel entirely validated.
A Capital Built in 41 Months
Brasília was designed from scratch and built in open scrubland in just 41 months (1956–1960). The entire city was planned in the shape of an aeroplane. It became a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a rare distinction for a city less than 70 years old. Officials relocated from Rio reportedly spent years staring longingly at maps of the ocean.
🗺️ What Are the Best Places to Visit in Brazil?
Rio de Janeiro — The Marvellous City
Christ the Redeemer on Corcovado mountain, Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car, the bohemian Santa Teresa neighbourhood, and Guanabara Bay. Rio is one of the most visually dramatic cities on Earth — jungle meets metropolis meets ocean.
Iguazu Falls
Straddling the Brazil-Argentina border, Iguazu is one of the world's greatest natural spectacles — nearly 3 km wide, up to 82 m tall. When Eleanor Roosevelt visited, she reportedly exclaimed "Poor Niagara!" The Brazilian side offers the broadest panoramic view; the Argentine side gets you drenched. Both are correct choices.
The Amazon — Manaus & Jungle Tours
Manaus is the gateway to the Amazon rainforest. Multi-day expeditions depart from here into the jungle, to pink river dolphins, and to the Meeting of the Waters — where the dark Rio Negro and sandy-coloured Solimões rivers run side by side without mixing for miles. The city also has a grand 19th-century opera house, built at the height of the rubber boom.
Lençóis Maranhenses — White Dunes & Lagoons
A national park where thousands of white sand dunes fill with turquoise freshwater lagoons during the rainy season. A desert with lakes sounds like a contradiction. It looks like a postcard from another planet. One of the most otherworldly landscapes anywhere on Earth.
The Pantanal — World's Largest Tropical Wetland
At roughly 150,000 sq km, the Pantanal is the best place in the world for wildlife watching: jaguars, giant river otters, capybaras, hyacinth macaws, and caimans everywhere you look. In the dry season, animals are more visible here than on an African safari — and there are far fewer tourists.
Salvador — Cradle of Afro-Brazilian Culture
The historic Pelourinho district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the birthplace of samba-reggae, candomblé, Bahian cuisine, and capoeira. Salvador is the most "African" city outside Africa, pulsing with music, colour, and traditions that have survived for centuries. No other city in Brazil sounds quite like it.
