Brazil

Explosive carnivals, elaborate headdresses and infectious hip-shaking samba. Gaze up at the icons of Rio, walk through the colonial streets of Salvador and sip Caipirinhas on the tropical beaches of Bahia. From the skin-soaking spray of Iguazu Falls to the steamy depths of the Amazon rainforest, Brazil has some of South America’s most astounding sights, compelling culture and the richest biodiversity on the planet.
