The largest country in South America offers stunningly diverse ecosystems, rich culture and history, white sand beaches, turquoise waters, and bustling cosmopolitan centers. From national parks in the northeast with thousand foot waterfalls, vast mountainous landscapes, deep caves, rolling white sand dunes juxtaposed with blue and green lagoons, the largest span of waterfalls on Earth in the south, and of course, the incredible flora and fauna of the Amazon rainforest and swamps of the Pantanal where jaguar trekking beckons– the wild natural terrain is yours for exploring.
The country is scattered with colonial sea towns like Paraty and Olinda: cobbled streets, whitewashed colonial buildings with colorful doors, and a slow pace of life, perfect for the photographer, historian and tourist. These quaint towns  contrast with the cosmopolitan epicenters of the country: São Paulo known for its food scene, electric nightlife, and masterful street art, Salvador for its lively Afro-Brazilian culture embracing the dance of the samba, the art of capoeira, and home to beautiful, remote beaches and islands, or Rio de Janeiro, the city of mesmerizing beauty with mountains formed like mounds of sugar cascading into the sea, sprinkled with lights and woven with the white and black tiles of the Copacabana promenades and long beach stretches, all set against the backdrop of the colorful favelas spilling off the hillsides above. It is in these cities you will discover a nation alive with the sound of samba, the aroma of churrasco, the refreshing taste of caipirinhas, and the welcoming embrace of the warm Brazilian people.
