   | Rich in diversity, urban sophistication and abundant natural wonders, Brazil is bursting with endless opportunities for excitement and adventure. Home to the mightiest river and largest rain forest, this region is known for so much more than its world-famous beaches. Venture into the wetlands of the Pantanal, one of the best places to see wildlife in South America, or Iguacu Falls, a thrilling waterfall complex whose roaring waters pour onto the jungle canopy below. At Amazonia National Park, covering almost 40 percent of Brazil's total landmass, bird watching, hiking, climbing and boating along the river are only some of the adventures that await you. For the history enthusiast, cities such as Salvador invite you wander narrow cobblestone streets that date from 1549. And of course no visit to Brazil would be complete without a stop in Rio de Janeiro, where world famous beaches and mountain range backdrop are only the beginning. Renowned as an educational and cultural center, Rio is home to some of Brazil's leading universities as well as delightful museums, parks and art galleries—and of course, the incomparable spectacle of Carnival. All this and more await you as you venture beyond the graceful elegance of your Brazilian retreat. |  |
