From the sophisticated and the pristine, to the deepest jungles and the mighty rivers, to the delectable cuisine and the bossa nova beat, Brazil is a country that will kindle the passion within you. Rio de Janeiro is the world capital of passion. There, beautiful people inhabit world-famous Ipanema and Copacabana Beaches beneath Sugar Loaf Mountain. This is the city of the world's largest, and perhaps the most festive Carnival celebration, and Rio's party continues year-round once the sun goes down. Many people don't realize that Sao Paulo, as the world's fourth largest city, is a major cultural center in its own right. After all, this city is home to a great many immigrant groups, which account for the 52 types of cuisine you can find. The Avenida Paulista is a great place to start when investigating all the cultural centers and museums that tell Brazil's story.

A sight that will truly astound is the majestic Iguazu Falls on the Brazil-Argentina border.
