Brazil is perhaps best known as the home of the mighty Amazon River and for the revelry of Rio de Janeiro’s yearly Carnival. There’s much more to South America's largest country, however, as evidenced by the beautiful beaches, lush rainforests and cosmopolitan cities. São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro welcome you to their modern streets with numerous cultural attractions and active nightlife. Ecological wonders and sun-kissed beaches abound in the peninsulas of Angra and Buzios, each about 100 miles away from Rio. Whether you’re looking for a beach getaway or an adventure in the city, Brazil is sure to satisfy.
