brazil

Brasil is the world’s fifth largest nation, both in terms of area and population, a country that is one of the planet’s largest democracies and economies. Covering over half of the continent of South America, this tropical paradise borders every South American country except Ecuador and Chile.

For many, the opening chapter of their Brazilian story will be Rio de Janeiro. Easily the most recognisable of all the Brazilian cities. Few travellers have ever disagreed that Rio is the world’s most beautiful and spectacular setting for a city. Charles Darwin noted that Rio was "more magnificent than anything any European has ever seen in his country of origin". But Brasil is much, much more than just Rio de Janeiro. It is a country of many hidden treasures.

Brazilians themselves are as a diverse as the landscape. From the original indigenous tribes, the Brazilian population encompasses and embraces just about every colour and creed imaginable. Brasil, a country where the people have become an attraction in their own right.
