What makes Brazil so special? Is it the incredible geographic diversity of the continent’s largest country? After all, Brazil boasts the Amazon Rainforest, thousands of kilometres of pristine beaches, the world’s largest wetlands and a rugged interior.

Or perhaps it is the most urbane pleasures of its vast metropolis? From the exuberant nightlife of Rio de Janeiro to the sophisticated art galleries in Sao Paulo. And from the colonial architecture of Ouro Preto to the Afro-influenced culinary scene in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil’s cities certainly do have something for everyone.

Some may point to the country’s incredible 21 UNESCO World Heritage Listed sites. And with natural wonders like majestic Iguazu Falls and the wildlife-rich Pantanal, Brazil is well deserving its many accolades.

However, we all agree that it is the people of Brazil which make the country an iconic destination for millions of people every year. They’re laid-back, fun, friendly and welcoming. And what’s more, they throw the world’s biggest street party! What’s not to love about that?
