About Brazil
Rio's icons, thundering falls and Amazonian wonder
Brazil is South America at its most exuberant — Christ the Redeemer with arms spread over Rio, the golden curve of Copacabana, the staggering Iguazu Falls, and the vast green lung of the Amazon.
Ride the cable car up Sugarloaf, samba through Rio's rhythm, feel the spray of 275 cascades at Iguazu, and feast on churrasco and açaí — a country as warm and rhythmic as its music.
Local Culture
Brazilian culture pulses with samba, bossa nova and the world's biggest carnival, fused from Indigenous, African and Portuguese roots. Football is religion, the churrasco is a social ritual, and a warm, joyful informality (jeitinho) runs through everything from Rio's beaches to the Amazon.
