BRAZIL

You cannot escape the most extraordinary sights and sounds in Brazil: the incomparable setting of Rio de Janeiro with its exuberant Carnival, the rush of the waters at the Iguassu Falls, the call of strange birds in the steamy jungles of the Amazon Rain Forest, the samba dancers in full flow, the tranquility of the coast with its vast, golden beaches.
For some, the hightlight of their trip may be Salvador de Bahia, Brazil's most lively city with its colonial architecture and African spirit, or wildlife spotting in the Pantanal wetlands or even catching a game at Rio's Maracana Stadium, the home of Brazilian football.
Where ever you chose to go, Brazil is a feast to be relished and savoured by all the senses.

"From 500 to 600 feet up we found one of those splendid views that are so common all over Rio. From this height the landscape appears at its most colourful, each shape, each shadow so completely exceeds in magnificence everything the European has seen before in his own country that he does not know how to express his sensations." Charles Darwin, 1832
