From Rio to the Amazon to the sound of samba

Tropical paradise, Brazil rhymes with joie de vivre, samba, capoeira, caipirinha and sunshine! In terms of nature: the impressive Iguazu Falls, the impenetrable Amazon rainforest, les Lençóis Lagoons or the miles of beaches of Northeast. City side: Rio the thrilling and its mythical beaches, São Paulo the cosmopolitan, Salvador the mixed-race woman and her countless churches, Brasília contemporary or even the colonial cities of Minas Gerais. For atmosphere: languid Bossa Nova, wild samba, or vibrant MPB, the choice is yours...
