Pulsating cities, pristine coastlines, primal jungle landscapes—get to know Brazil’s crackling, spitfire spirit.

It won’t take long to succumb to Brazil’s charms. Just let the soft, samba rhythms of Rio de Janeiro swirl around you and the golden sands of Copacabana tickle your feet. You’ll find yourself utterly in awe of the country’s mix of shimmering metropolises and impenetrable jungles teeming with amber-eyed wildlife. While you meander the crayon-hued, cobbled streets of Paraty by the azure waters of the South Atlantic, or dive into the nonstop energy of São Paulo, let the country’s Carnival culture woo you into celebrating life like the locals. Extend your trip by venturing to Iguazú Falls for the rush and roar of the world's largest waterfall system.
