Brazil

Exquisite landscapes, magnetic metropolises, and the most bio-diversity of any country on earth.

Despite being sprawling enough to fit all of Europe within its borders and intoxicatingly diverse, Brazil manages to have a cohesive national identity that’s recognised – and adored – worldwide.

Like umami, its incommunicable flavour needs its own definition. In a single trip, you can sample the seductive – samba, sizzling nightlife and the biggest street party on the planet, the soothing – skinny-dipping in a waterfall, kaftans and coconuts at a secluded pousada, and the intrepid – adventures in tropical rainforest, mountain climbing and camping in the vast interior, or off-road expeditions along some of the 3000 km of wild untouched coastline.

Like the girl from Ipanema, Brazil is as cool-as-a-caipirinha about its enviable assets: the greatest biodiversity on the planet, over 2,000 beaches, 100-metre high waterfalls, 5 million square kilometres of Amazon rainforest, two of the world’s twenty largest cities, candy-coloured colonial towns, a glut of 20th century modernist architectural masterpieces and the Southern Hemisphere’s largest GDP.
