Brazil
Sensational
Sparkling beaches, winding rivers, dense jungles, rocky mountain peaks, colourful coral reefs, and abundant wildlife: there’s little Brazil doesn’t offer when it comes to natural beauty. From the crowded beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema to the isolated villages of the Amazon, travellers can choose nearly any kind of holiday in Brazil. In this country, the urban jungles are just as big an attraction as the natural ones. Cosmopolitan cities like Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, and Sao Paulo offer visitors a dizzying array of cultural activities, whether it’s sweating through a samba lesson, browsing designer shops, wandering through museums and art galleries, or eating one’s way through the diverse restaurants and eateries.
The Brazilians are a passionate people who love to have a good time, packing the beaches full on weekends and filling soccer stadiums to capacity for every match. Festivals like the famous (or infamous) Carnaval showcase this love for life, one that tends to rub off a little on every visitor.
