Overview

Which is wilder - the jungle or the people?

Brazil is South America's giant, a dazzling land of pristine beaches, steamy jungles and manic metropolises. Music and dancing are as integral here as eating and sleeping, and you'll find as many regional styles as there are shades of people, from samba's sensual rhythms to Bahia's axé-charged beats.

While it may not be the Eden of popular imagination, Brazil is still a country of staggering beauty. There are stretches of unexplored rainforest, islands with divine tropical beaches, and endless rivers. Then there are the people themselves, who delight visitors with their energy and joy.

Travel warning! - Air Delays

Domestic flights in Brazil are experiencing serious disruption with cancellations and severe delays common. Travelers should monitor flight information with travel agents and airports, and be prepared for delays.
