Brazil is the largest country in South America occupying half the continent’s landmass. The Atlantic Ocean runs along its eastern border and shares its inland borders with most South American countries except Chile and Ecuador!

The country has a wide range of landscapes, including wetlands, rainforest (most of the Amazon River Basin), savannas, plateaus and mountains. Brazil coastline is mainly sandy with plenty of small islands, coves, and pools to visit.

It is famous for its football tradition and its annual Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Recife and Olinda.
