English to Hindi: brazil tour
Source text - English 1. The second half of the 17th century saw Portugal freed from Spanish rule, the northeast of Brazil liberated from a 24-year occupation by Dutch forces, and the weakening of Brazil's sugar economy
1. While the gold rush which followed drained thousands of people away from the coastal plantations, it also attracted fresh immigration from Portugal.
2. Altogether nearly 1,000 tons of gold and 3 million carats of diamonds were taken from the region between 1700 and l800.
3. The growth of gold mining in Brazil was an important development which influenced the course of events not only in the colony but also in Europe.
4. But the boom in gold and diamond mining, like that of sugar, was destined to be followed by the rise of an even more important source of wealth: coffee.
5. Just as mining caused a migration of people from Pernambuco and Bahia southwards to Minas Gerais, so the spread of coffee-growing advanced the settlement of empty land still further to the south.
6. The early plantations of Coffee were in regions in the hinterland of Rio de Janeiro and were well provided with slave labor; but the abolition of slavery and European immigration into the State of São Paulo in the late 19th century caused coffee growing to move southwards to the region where soil conditions, climate, and altitude combined to create an ideal environment.
7. Another important event in the second half of the 18th century was the transfer of the seat of colonial government.
8. After more than 200 years in Salvador, the capital was moved to Rio de Janeiro, where it dominated the main access route to Minas Gerais and was closer to the growing population centers in the southern regions of the colony.
9. Monopolizing all trade with Brazil, Portugal retained a substantial part of the profits, and this led to growing discontent among the settlers.
10. For those of you who do not understand Spanish or Portuguese, the word Bonito translates in English to beautiful.
11. However, many believe that this destination was not named justifiably…as Bonito simply does not describe the extraordinariness of the attractions! Merely a decade ago, this region remained undiscovered by tourists.
12. There are daily flights from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo to Campo Grande. Bonito is 175 miles from Campo Grande, (approximately 3 hours by car due to road conditions).
13. All tours throughout the region are led by excellently trained guides and, although most caves and grottos could hold as many as 100 people, they are kept to a maximum of 15 people.
14. Warm canals meander through the dunes, creating an abundance of small islands, 83 to be exact, and a rich selection of ecosystems, including forests, beaches, mangroves, lagoons and dunes.
