Brazil… the very sound of it evokes images of funs, sun samba and tropical paradise, igniting Western imagination like no other South American country. From the sun drenched beaches of Rio de Janeiro to the mighty Amazon, this is a country of mythic proportions. Here we explore virgin rainforest, visit mystical colonial Salvador with its Afro-Brazilian rituals; the majestic Iguassu falls -- wider than Victoria, higher than Niagara and more magnificent than both. Brazil's vibrant diversity and the charm of its people seem to embody everything that is best in South America.
