Brazil is the largest country in South America and the only one where the national language is Portuguese. Brazil offers the world famous beaches of Rio, stunning coastal towns such as Salvador, the untouched wilderness of the Amazon rainforest and landmarks such as the Iguaçu Falls. It is a country of great diversity with plenty to see and to do.

Key Highlights

Brazil has many great attractions for people to discover and enjoy. Visitors who want to experience unspoiled wildlife can find it in remote areas of the Amazon and the interior. For a scenic highlight, it’s hard to top the Iguassu Falls, the largest in the world in terms of water volume, with 275 distinct falls. The capital, Rio de Janeiro, is considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world. With the panorama of rainforest clad cliffs and the sea offers one stunning view after another. Many of the historical colonial cities of Brazil have been restored and are truly gorgeous; one of the best is Salvador.

In Depth

Rio de Janeiro offers one stunning view after another. From the incomparable landmarks of Corcovado Mountain crowned by the status of Christ the Redeemer, to Sugar Loaf Mountain and the stunning beaches that define life in Rio.

Spanning 2700 m and forming a natural border between Argentina and Brazil, Iguassu Falls meaning ‘big waters’, is one of the world’s largest and most impressive waterfalls where the sheer force of the cascading waters sends spray high in the air to create rainbows in the mist.

Originally the capital of Brazil, Salvador is blessed with beautiful beaches and renowned for its specialised local dishes. A stroll through the alleys in the historic centre of the city will reveal the beauty and colour of its architecture, Afro-Brazilian culture, music and folklore.

Three unique ecosystems are the Pantanal, the Savanna Tablelands and the wonderful Amazon Rainforest. Travel by foot, truck and canoe to lush jungles, beautiful waterfalls and lakes and old colonial towns that will leave you breathless.
