Get to know your way around Brazil with these short guides
Cities
Rio de Janeiro
Known to Brazilians as 'the marvellous city', Rio de Janeiro has undeniably the most beautiful setting of any city in the world. Rio also has style, culture, spirit, and an irrepressible thirst for life as it should be lived.
Sao Paulo
Brazil's megalopolis, Sao Paulo is the place other Brazilians love to hate - and then fall in love with when they experience Sao Paulo's freshness, drive and get-up-and-go style.
Salvador
A fabulous location, glorious colonial buildings, and a rich African influence makes Salvador a must.
Salvador
Recife & Olinda
The brash, busy north-eastern city of Recife has a great quality of life in modern terms. Olinda, its small-scale, colourful, historic sibling, has all the history, culture and artsy attitude that Recife's modernity has left behind.
Manaus
Manaus is the hub of the Amazon. A steamy, atmospheric, cosmopolitan city which serves as a thriving port for the vast hinterlands of the Amazon rainforests, with boats plying the river from as far afield as Peru (1,000miles upstream) to the Atlantic, still 900 miles away.
Manaus
Belem
Belιm, the closest major city to the mouth of the Amazon, and known as the 'city of mango trees', is an important cultural centre with an historic colonial heart, and an abundance of museums and art galleries.
Belem
Belo Horizonte
Belo Horizonte, the capital of Minas Gerais state, was Brazil's first planned city. It's a thriving town of skyscrapers and suburbs, set in a natural bowl ringed by the jagged hills of the Serra do Espinhaηo.
Natural Brazil
Iguassu Falls
Iguassu Falls is a truly spectacular sight, one of South America's truly iconic places.
Chapada Diamantina
The Chapada Diamantina, in central Bahia, is one of the top regions in Brazil for mountain scenery, walking and trekking.
Bonito
Spectacular limestone scenery with dramatic caves and crystal clear freshwater rivers, make Bonito an off-beat destination for some amazing outdoor activities and experiences
