brazil

The fifth largest country in the world in terms of both landmass and population, the culture of Brazil is as colourful and varied as the landscape.

Despite having such a large population, there are still swathes of areas untouched by modern civilisation. Birthplace of samba and home of the legendary Carnaval, Brazil has a beating heart that will captivate visitors with the warmth and energy of its people. Spanning across nearly half of South America and bordering all but two of its countries, Brazil encapsulates the spirit and beauty that defines the world’s most vibrant continent.
