Brazil

With 209.3 million inhabitants and an area of 8.516.00 km2 that stretches from the Amazon Basin in the north to the IguaƧu Falls in the south, Brazil is a country of superlatives. Its landscape and ecosystem are marked by a richness that is second to no other. This is one of the only countries where tropical islands and white sandy beaches neighbour on rainforest and red-rock canyons. Its incredible diversity makes Brazil the home of the largest collection of plant and animal species on the planet. Explore the lush green rainforest of the Amazon, climb the Pico da Neblina, Brazilā€™s highest mountain, or soak up the vibrant atmosphere of one of this countryā€™s rhythm-filled metropolises.
