FIFA World Cup Fever, are we ready?



As the summer heat started to end in the Philippines, the FIFA world cup is just starting on the other side of the world BRAZIL.

Recently, Filipinos are getting more involved in the football game with the AZKALS slowly dominating the Asian football games. But, are Filipino fans of  FIFA ready to watch it live in Brazil? I will give you some informations on how much does it cost to visit the vibrant city, including the visa requirements, and best places to visit in beetween games to maximize your trip.

First of all, Brazil is a visa-free country for Filipinos. Meaning, a Philippine passort holder does not need to secure a visa when going to Brazil if he/she intended to stay in less than 90days.

Second, how much is the airfare? This is the next question Filipinos will ask. On an average season, roundtrip airfare costs around US$2500-US$4000 and it usually goes up 50-100% on peak season or during festivals, and international events. Hmmm, very costly indeed. One more thing to keep in mind is that you cannot take any flight that you see on the internet booking sites. A Philippine passport holder cannot do a stop over flight to any US or Canada route if they don't have a valid US or Canadian visa.

Places to see:
1. Christ the Redeemer Monument
2. Ipanema Beach
3. Copacabana Beach
4. Amazon River
5. Iguazu Falls
6. Sao Paolo National Museum of Arts
7. Rio de Janiero Sugarloaf Mountain
8. Sao Paolo Botanical Gardens
9. Fernando de Norhana
10. Pantanal

With this littke information I shared to you, I hope by the next world cup series, Filipinos will be ready to conquer Brazil!
