Travel to Brazil

Brazil is one of the most beautiful, fun, intoxicating countries on Earth. There’s nowhere else like it.
The largest and most populous country in South America is home to some of the best beaches, lushest rainforests, and most life-affirming people in the world.
There are more different species of plants and animals in Brazil than in any other country. From the swamps of the Pantanal to the immense, lush rainforests of the Amazon and the Mata Atlantica, virtually everywhere you go in Brazil is bursting with life.

It’s no secret that Brazilians love to party. Carnaval is a seriously big deal here, but year round you’ll never be far from people having a good time. Music and dancing is everywhere, be it samba, choro, axé, bossa nova, forró, or one of the countless other styles that are unique to the nation.
Brazil’s cities are loud, passionate, and hedonistic. The stunning metropolis of Rio de Janeiro has an incredible natural setting, world-class beaches, nightlife, and music.
Cosmopolitan São Paulo, the largest city in the Southern Hemisphere, has a totally different feel, with an extremely diverse and international population, vibrant art community, excellent theatres, and some of the best restaurants in the country.
Wherever you go in Brazil, you’ll have a lot of fun.
