Brazil - A land of magnificent beaches, vast rain forests and music-fueled cities, Brazil bears an astounding variety of natural and cultural wonders. Brazil is the world’s largest country in the tropics, and the only limit to a journey here is your imagination. Setting the stage are idyllic, unspoiled islands, pristine stretches of coastline fronting emerald seas and colonial towns.
 
Then you have the cities: Brasilia, the futuristic inland capital of Brazil, Salvador, historic and colourful pearl of the Northeast of Brazil, “Megalopolis” with it all of Brazil, São Paulo and of course, the spectacular, sassy, simply unforgettable Rio de Janeiro…you'll run out of superlatives trying to do this incredible city of Brazil justice.
 
Brazil’s rich ecosystems make for some amazing journeys, too. You can go horseback riding through the Pantanal near Campo Grande in search of Brazilian monkeys and capybara, or whale watching off the coast of Santa Catarina in Southern Brazil. There are unforgettable river trips up the Brazilian Amazon from Manaus, descents into waterfall-cooled canyons, refreshing dips in Brazilian forest streams and ascents up rocky cliff tops to breathtaking views…and so much more!

Whether or not you come for Carnival, music is a big part of the Brazilian experience. There are numerous ways to discover the perfect beat, from dancing with Cariocas at Rio’s atmospheric samba clubs to following powerful drumbeats through the streets of Salvador. There’s dancehall Forró in the Northeast of Brazil, twirling Carimbó of the Amazon, scratch-skilled DJs of São Paulo in the south of Brazil and an endless variety of Brazilian regional sounds that extends from the Brazilian back country Sertanejo to reggae-loving Maranhão.
 
Given Brazil's many riches, it’s no surprise that Brazil has been turning heads for centuries. Among the first to fall under the spell of Brazil was the Portuguese king himself (Dom João VI), who came to Brazil, fell in love and just couldn’t tear himself away from his adopted homeland (something to keep in mind when deciding your length of stay here in Brazil).
