Home of spectacular soccer and sizzling-hot carnivals, Brazil is the largest country in South America, a perfect tourist attraction for its world-famous beaches (does Copacabana ring a bell?), dramatic waterfalls and lavish Amazonian rainforest.

When tired of exploring its nature wonders, plenty of historical cities preserving samples of Brazil’s colonial heritage, ruins of old Jesuit missions, but also Indian, afro-Brazilian and modern art museums will satisfy your taste for culture.

Rio de Janeiro’s nightlife has a choice for all tastes, from traditional players of samba and bossa-nova to trendy clubs or a rich underground scene.

And if you still miss the urban jungle, you can visit the mega-city of Sao Paulo and its world-class restaurants, theatres, bookshops and shopping-centres.
