Brazil

Brazil is the largest of the Latin American countries covering nearly half (47.3%) of the continent of South America. Famous for its soccer tradition; natural beauty and its annual carnival in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador, it is a country of great diversity. From the bustling urban mosaic of São Paulo to the infinite cultural energy of Pernambuco and Bahia, the untouched wilderness of the Amazon rainforest and world-class landmarks such as the Iguaçu Falls, there is plenty to see and to do in Brazil. Certain areas, such as the Green Coast in the south of the state of Rio de Janeiro or the Sauipe Coast in Bahia, have international quality resorts with several options for tourism.
