Brazil

Too Vast To Chase And Too Alive To Ignore

Brazil, the largest country in South America, offers a kaleidoscope of experiences for travelers. In Rio de Janeiro, soak in the iconic sights of Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain, relax on the famous Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, and dance the night away in the lively Lapa district. Witness the spectacular Iguazu Falls, straddling the border with Argentina, and marvel at the power and beauty of its cascading waters. For a taste of the Amazon, visit Manaus and embark on a jungle expedition to explore the rich biodiversity of the rainforest.

HAPPY HATHI TIP

While Rio’s Carnival is world-famous, you might also time your journey with local celebrations such as Festa Junina or the Parintins Boi Bumbá in the Amazon. These vibrant festivals reveal Brazil’s rich regional diversity in music, dance, and food, often without the crowds of Carnival.
