Rio De Janiero |
Brazil is the
biggest country in Latin America and one of the biggest in the world
geographically. With a coastline of over 7,367 kilometers, Brazil's size is even
larger than Italy, Portugal, Japan, Spain, Indonesia and South Africa
combined.
In terms of
religion, it is the biggest Catholic country and second highest Christian
population which presents the tallest iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer
overlooking Rio de Janeiro which is considered on of the seven wonders of the
world.
Brazil is the
only country to have won 5 World Cup titles and is one of the main exporters of
soccer players and coaches around the globe. Soccer or football (futebol, as it
is called here) is a national passion played on the streets, fields, beaches,
indoors, outdoors and of course. Maracanã is one of the world's biggest and most
beautiful stadiums. World Cup 2014 and World Olympics 2016 will be in
Brazil.
The world's
largest rainforest which comprises 2.3 square million miles is found in the
Amazon region in Brazil where the famous Amazon River is found. It is home to
wonderful ecological displays enriched by diverse flora and fauna and unique
animal species. Well, it also holds a record of deforestation and illegal
logging and hunting.
The most
extravagant and tourist drawing carnival is scattered around Brazilian cities
mainly Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Recife and Olinda. It is an awaited moment of
the year which requires long-term preparation in terms of choreography, music
and production originality. With the lively samba rhythm, tourists both local
and foreign can dance to their hearts' desire. While Carnival in big cities is
commercialized, the one at the countryside is free for public participation and
appreciation.
Brazil is one
of the biggest agricultural and industrial exporters. Coffee, soybeans, wheat,
rice, corn, sugarcane, cocoa, citrus textiles, shoes, chemicals, cement, lumber,
iron ore, tin, steel, aircraft, motor vehicles and parts, other machinery and
equipment. That is why, it is also among the top ten growing economies in the
world together with China and India. Brazil is a Third World country with a
First World economic performance.
Brazil is one
of the most preferred travel destinations in Latin America due to its diverse
attractions.
