Brazil Travel Information


A leader's perspective...

From the passion of Carnaval to the immensity of the Amazon basin, Brazil is a country of gigantic proportions. My favourite city is Rio de Janeiro, where you can enjoy a caipirinha on the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, samba until dawn and enjoy breathtaking sunsets from the magnificent statue of Christ the Redeemer. Away from the urban centres there are the huge stretches of unexplored rainforest, the wetlands of the Pantanal, and the stunning Iguazu Falls. But what truly makes this such a truly fantastic destination are the small things. Like elderly couples dancing on the cobblestone streets of Salvador de Bahia, seeing the Amazonian locals fish with spears, or the magical serenity of watching capoeira at sunrise on an isolated beach. Brazil is definitely my kind of country.
