Brazil is definitely one of the most attractive, enticing and exciting travel destinations in the world. It is a country delicately shaped by Mother Nature, known for its good-tempered and hospitable people, for the beauty and truly positive outlook on life of its inhabitants.

Larger than Europe and covering almost half of South America, just its Atlantic coastline is over 7,000km (4,500 miles) long, Brazil is a huge country of contrasting superlatives. Stretching from the Tropical Rain Forests of the Amazon in the North to the "Pampas" in the South, the natural wonders of this land are clearly spectacular.

From the awesome Iguassu Waterfalls to the Amazon basin, Brazil's natural beauty and magic continually overwhelm the traveler.

Brazil is not only filled with rich natural abundance, it is also a country of great cultural plenitude and its people are a joyous, exuberant mixture of all races and origins. In the capital Brasilia, ultra modern architecture dazzles the eye, while the baroque classics Salvador da Bahia , Recife, Olinda and the historical Ouro Preto are a link to past glory.

The modern metropolis of Brazil often seems like islands in a huge sea of almost untouched natural beauty. Especially Rio de Janeiro, this pulsating international melting pot of cultures which provides a spectacular contrast to the surrounding natural beauty.
