Breathtaking Brazil! Whether history, adventure, culture or just plain fun, Brazil is perfect for every kind of traveler: for couples, families and friends, with its dazzling beaches, forest trails and lively cities, Brazil has it all.

Brazil is the largest country in South America. It covers almost the half of the continent. It is the fifth biggest country in the world. The Equator crosses the country in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn crosses the country, near Sao Paulo. Rio de Janeiro is famous for its Carnival but the heart of this great city beats to the carioca rhythms year round. The vast Amazon regions beckon the adventurous and the untouched Pantanal presents a natural symphony of flora and fauna. The beaches of the northeast sparkle with new modern hotels and historic cities wait to be explored. Finally no visit to Brazil is complete without the experience of the majestic Iguazu Falls, where mere words cannot describe this wonder of the world.
