The world's fifth largest country at 190 million people, Brazil's tropical climate, diverse geography and incredible landmarks have made it a popular destination for families, outdoorsmen and tourists alike.
Rio de Janiero, Brazil's second largest city, boasts many of its world-famous landmarks. Atop the peak of Corcovado is perched the Christ the Redeemer Statue, the ubiquitous symbol of Rio. Across the Guanabara Bay is Sugarloaf Mountain, a massive peak accessible by cable car. In Rio you'll also find the famous Maracana Stadium, the Rio-Niterol Bridge and the beloved Copacabana Beach. Rio and the surrounding areas also boasts some incredible architecture, notably the UFO-like Contemporary Art Museum (MAC), perched on a bluff just across the Guanabara Bay.
At over 3 million square miles, Brazil's diverse geography includes hills, mountains, plains, highlands, rainforest and scrubland. One of its most dramatic natural features is the Iguassu Falls, in the Parque Nacional Iguazu. A series of more than 275 individual falls, here massive quantities of water from the Iguazu River cascade more than 270 feet off the Parana Plateau.
Brazil boasts almost 5,000 miles of Atlantic coastline, and with it, some of the best beaches in the world. Copacabana boasts over 2.5 miles of clean white sands, wildly popular among Brazilians and tourists alike, while the diverse variety of beaches at Itacare rival none other in South America. Small outposts like the fishing village of Pantano do Sul on the southern end of Florianapolis are also popular among beach bums.
