Everything in Brazil seems larger than life. It has some of the world's wildest parties, a huge waterfall, vast wetlands, a mighty river and one of the largest rainforests and most unique and diverse cultures on the planet. For travelers, Brazil's sheer size and variety can be overwhelming.

Venture beyond the thousands of miles of beach to explore Brazil's other remarkable attractions including the traditional Afro-Brazilian culture of Salvador, the colonial towns of Ouro Preto, Sao Luis, Parati and Olinda, and/or the wetlands of the Pantanal, one of the best wildlife preserves in South America. Rio might draw you to Brazil the first time, but the country's unexplored corners and breadth of attractions will make you want to go back.
