BRAZIL

It is difficult to define Brazil as a country; it is rather the sum of countries with very different characteristics such as the Amazon region with the longest river and the largest rainforest in the world, and Rio de Janeiro, with its legendary carnival and famous beaches. In addition, there are natural wonders such as the mighty Iguaçu Falls on the border with Argentina, and the wetland area Pantanal, with its unique variety of plants and animals in the west, as well as the magical desert landscape Sertão in the northeast. The Amazon Forest with its extraordinary wildlife, captured here in a close-up of a jaguar approaching, religion, Bahian cusine, modern architecture, body painting, coffee and cocoa, fruits, beach life, soccer plus the great cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro captured in stunning full page colour photos.
