Destination Profile
South America's largest country is treasure trove of experiences, sights, and culture. Touching down on cheap flights to Brazil from Australia, you're likely to get started with the bumping beach scene of Copacabana in Rio, or the gritty churrascarias of São Paulo, the capital. Once you're done sipping caipirinhas under the statue of Christ the Redeemer, it's time to go off-track. In wild Brazil, that might mean heading deep into the Amazon basin, for encounters with prowling jaguars and snapping piranha fish. It might mean carving over the glistening surf breaks of Florianopolis. Or, it could involve safaris over the endless wetlands of the Pantanal for visions of capybaras and macaws.
The energy of Copacabana Beach is something else. Head here for sunset in Rio and you'll soon be joining the carnival of volleyball, samba and cocktail drinking.
The largest waterfall system in the world is on view in the state of Parana. Make for the lookouts that poke from the jungle to see the roaring cataracts and mist pools in full show.
The legend of the Amazon draws intrepid types to this vast rainforest, which extends all the way to the Andes and comes packed with jaguars, river dolphins, and iguanas.
