Discover Brazil

 
 

Brazil is the world's fifth largest country, occupying half of the South American Continent. Much of Brazil is scarcely populated, although some regions with previously low population densities, such as the Amazon, are being rapidly settled, logged and depleted.

"Anyone wishing to learn more about Brazil should try, above all, to come into contact with the many diverse aspects of our culture. Our reality is complex and varied, defying simplification and stereotypes."

Brazil can feel proud of having created a new standard of civilization whose cultural identity is all its own, with influences rooted in the most diverse possible origins: European, African, Amerindian and Asian. It is because of this very diversity that we Brazilians are open, tolerant and democratic people in essence. The amenity of Brazil's physical landscapes offers an appropriate setting for unique Brazilian lifestyle.

Brazil is a beautiful and complex country. To some, we are the land of samba, soccer, bossa-nova, Amazon Rain Forest and Iguazu Falls. These for sure are important aspects of life in Brazil but there are many others, so many than what is usually publicized by the press. Brazilian symbol is none of these things, it is indeed the MULTICULTURAL ASPECTS.
