Brazil is the fifth-largest country in the world! You could fit India, Argentina, Algeria and Britain inside it and still have room!
Rio de Janeiro will thrill you from the glittering Sugar Loaf, sleek Cristo Redentor and the extravagant samba-school parades of Carnival, it’s a visual extravaganza. The beaches, the tropical vegetation of the Tijuca Forest National Park are breath taking.
Away from the beaches, art galleries, such as the Museu Nacional de Belas Artes and the delightful MIAN (Museum of Naïve Art), are well worth visiting. In 2013, two new art spaces opened: the MAR (Museu de Arte do Rio), in the downtown area, which celebrates Rio de Janeiro’s visual arts, architecture, history and culture; the Casa Daros in Botafogo showcases contemporary Latin American art.
Ahhhh, Brazil will change your life!
