 If traveling is your passion, Brazil is your destination. Brazil will
take your breath away. With its dazzling beaches, forest trails and
lively cities, Brazil will put all your emotions to the test.
Brazil is the largest country of South America. It borders every other country of the continent except Chile and Ecuador.
Brazil is a very much a country of contrasts. When someone hears the
word Brazil, one thinks of the great Amazon Forest, fantastic beaches,
great soccer players, carnival time - and that's all. Well, Brazil, the
most important country in South America, certainly has MUCH more to
offer - a warm and happy people, great cities with everything from
slums to high technology, a wide range of weather patterns, an awesome
mixture of cultures and races - and much more!
The most interesting places to visit in Brazil includes Fernando de
Noronha Island, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo (the two bustling
megacities of the South), the more relaxed city of Salvador in the
northeast, or the old colonial towns of Ouro Preto and Olinda . For
natural beauty, try a visit to Iguaçu Falls . If you have the chance
the best time to visit is Carnival. There is nothing in the whole wide
world like Carnival in Rio. Brasilia: great architecture and
cityplanning.
