Discover Brazil, a country that is unusually blessed. Five thousand miles of coastline – some of it packed with cafes and partygoers, but long stretches blissfully empty. Rainforests and wetlands teem with exotic critters. Some of the oldest cities and civic architecture in the New World (and one of the newest cities in the entire world) are here.
Located in the heart of South America, the Pantanal is the world’s largest wetland, 20 times the size of the famed Everglades in Florida. Vast and verdant, it covers much of inland central and southern Brazil and is teeming with birds and wildlife from toucan to caiman, capybara, ocelot and even Jaguar.
