Description
Brazil is the largest country in South America with many wonderful things to discover—from miles of rainforests containing thousands of different plants and animals, to the world’s largest river (the Amazon), to many of the planet's most beautiful beaches. The country also features many special kinds of music, from the joyful rhythms of samba and forró to the smooth sounds of bossa nova. Every year features huge Carnival celebrations at which people dance and parade wearing elaborate, colorful costumes.
