Taking up half of the continent of South America, and being about the same size as the United States of America, Brazil is one of the largest countries in the world. Since the conquistadors brought back stories of the fabled lost cities, and mysterious jungle, Brazil has drawn travellers from around the world, eager to explore the country and see the majesty that it has to offer. From the eye-dropping expanse of the jungle; with the calls of monkeys in the trees and the menace of solitary jaguar hunting the wild pigs and deer; to the murky waters of the lower Amazon, where dolphins swim, and mysterious ripples in the water may be sign of the feared anaconda; to the enigmatic Indian tribes hiding away from civilisation; to the rush of life in Rio De Janeiro and Sao Paolo. The list of things to see and do in Brazil is as endless as the mighty Amazon River that runs through it.
For most people, a trip to Brazil includes visiting one of the large cities, usually Rio, followed by time in one of the northern beach resorts like Jericoacoara where the Rainforest is close by and easy to explore, but there is a great deal more available for those wanting to spend more than just a couple of weeks there.
Popular as a destination for bearded eco-tourists, and hedonistic sun seekers alike, Brazil is a country that can offer as much or as little of itself as you want, and with cheap deals on flights to Brazil available throughout the year, it's a great place to see, and definitely to be seen.
