Brazil offers world class travel destinations with unique travel experiences...

Brazilians often say they live in a continent rather than a country, and that's an excusable exaggeration. The landmass is bigger than the United States if you exclude Alaska; the journey from Recife in the east to the western border with Peru is longer than that from London to Moscow, and the distance between the northern and southern borders is about the same as that between New York and Los Angeles. Brazil has no mountains to compare with its Andean neighbors, but in every other respect it has all the scenic - and cultural - variety you would expect from so vast a country.

Rio de Janeiro is the hottest of destinations and very few places in the world match its hospitality and natural charm. Rio is brimming with color, sound, rhythm, and joy, which make it synonymous with Carnaval, happiness, and beautiful people. Rio has music, nightlife, beaches, historical sites and a spirit all its own. The locals are called Cariocas and tend to be extravagant, the intensity with which they live life is legendary and truly remarkable.
