GETTING TO KNOW BRAZIL

Passion is the word that best defines a trip to Brazil, since emotion exudes from every
corner of this large country. The combination of Brazil’s natural wonders and a culture based on freedom and love of life both amaze and captivate tourists from the world over. The country’s extensive coastline includes all the way from fantastic beach resorts with deluxe infrastructure to rustic inns on out-of-the-way beaches. The giant and mysterious Amazon Jungle (the planet’s richest ecosystem) offers adventure to meet every traveller's dreams. And the amazing and unique physical characteristics of the Pantanal (literally the Big Swamp) provide an enormous natural laboratory with a unique balance of terrestrial and aquatic life, where visitors experience unique sensations and visual effects.

Brazil is a tropical country, crossed by the Equator and the Tropic of Capricorn. The country’s territory is over eight and a half million square kilometres, bordering on all the countries of South America except Chile and Ecuador. Brazil’s population is over 170 million, divided into 5 major geographic regions (the North, Northeast, Central-West, Southeast, and South).

Brazil has a diverse ethnic heritage, resulting in a warm, festive, charming, and hospitable population. The people’s rhythm and creativity, expressed in traditional festivals and celebrations, are among the key traits of Brazilian culture.
All this is Brazil. Come and visit, get to know it, experience it, and fall in love with it!
