Brazil

Brazil is a country of continental scale and extraordinary diversity, from the dense biodiversity of the Amazon basin to the sun-soaked beaches of the northeast, the rhythms of Rio de Janeiro, and the cultural melting pot of São Paulo. The warmth and spontaneity of Brazilian social life, expressed through music, football, and food, is infectious. The country rewards those who embrace its contradictions and chaos, though safety awareness is important in urban areas.
