Brazil is South America’s powerhouse in many ways – its size, its allure to travelers, and its mega-diversity. From cosmopolitan and chic urban centers, from to rural estancias to indigenous jungle villages, Brazil adventures reach far beyond Samba and beaches. They defy expectation!

South America’s largest nation is a delightful, often-overlooked destination for nature and cultural tourism. Encompassing climatic zones ranging from tropical to temperate, the country’s diverse ecosystems include some of the earth’s most inspiring wildlands-the Amazon, spectacular Iguaçu Falls, the Atlantic rainforest and mile-upon-mile of gorgeous beaches. Like its landscapes, Brazil’s cultures are equally varied.
