Famous for its beautiful beaches and beautiful people, Brazil is a cosmopolitan and tropical destination. Rio, the capital of carnival, is a glamorous city with an unparalleled setting. Viewed from the Statue of Christ, the mix of rainforest, mountains and ocean is truly breathtaking. Bordering all but two South American countries, much of Brazil is covered in thick Amazon Rainforest.
