Featured Destination - Brazil
 From
the passion of Carnival to the Amazon,
Brazil is a
country of mythic proportions. It’s staggering beauty is symbolized by unexplored rainforests, islands
with pristine tropical beaches and mighty rivers. Although
Brasilia is the capital, most visitors associate the
country’s diversity and energy with
Rio de
Janeiro. One of the most densely populated places on earth, the locals
thrive on dance, drink, beach, sport and sun. Although ritzy, it also caters
for the more budget-minded. For the more adventurous, the city of Manaus is a good stop-over point for exploring parts of the Amazon – a basin that contains 6 million sq km of river and jungle which spans eight countries. It’s also worth witnessing the Iguaza Falls which boast the stupendous roar of 275 different waterfalls. The falls are actually divided between Brazil and Argentina and November is a great time to visit. It’s also worth considering a visit to the coastal cities of Fortaleza, Natal, Recife and Salvador. |
