Brazil Travel Guide

Famous for being home to one of the world’s top football teams, the Rio de Janeiro Carnival and the remarkable Iguazu Falls, Brazil is an exciting world travel destination. As South America’s largest country, Brazil covers a majority of the continent’s northeastern region and borders all of its countries except for Chile and Ecuador...

From the Amazon rainforest in the North to the tropical beaches on its coastline, to the Pantanal wetlands and the vibrant metropolises of the Southeast, Brazil’s landscape and cities are every bit as varied and diverse as its culture. Home to numerous indigenous tribes for thousands of years and colonized by Portugal in the 16th century, Brazil’s culture is a blend of Portuguese, Native American, European and African, which are all vividly exhibited in the country’s cuisine, traditions, music, dance and festivals.
