Brazil Travel Information


Brazil Flag Brazil (the Federative Republic of Brazil) is a country in South America (although also including numerous island archipeligos). It is both the largest (in terms of area), and the only Portuguese-speaking country in that continent. Brazil has land borders with Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela, and also has a long coastline on the Atlantic Ocean.

The population of Brazil, as of 2008, was estimated to be around 190 million. The largest city, São Paulo had a population of nearly 11 million, and there are at least 13 other cities with populations of over 1 million. The capital of the country since 1960 is Brasilia which is a purpose built and designed city (planning and development began in 1956).

The Brazil economy has been rapidly growing over the last few years, and Brazil is now in the top 10 countries based on both GDP and purchasing power parity. In future years, Brazil is expected to become even more important economically.

Product Description:
The Amazon, a destination craved by travelers from all over the world and a central issue in global discussions about the environment is still very little known and touristically unexplored.
This guide, the eighth volume of the BRAZIL UNIBANCO GUIDES series, unfolds the paths that can be scrolled by tourists of all kinds. The adventurous traveler, willing to go on expeditions through the jungle and to reach places with a difficult access (such and the Neblina peak, the highest in the country), can find all the fundamental tips in the guide. On the other hand, for those who want comfort above all, there are information about excellent jungle hotels, which at the same time enable an experience of intense contact with the flora and fauna.
The guide also includes destinations that are little explored, such as areas of the states of Acre and Rondonia, in the south western part of the region, and the mid-Amazon, which concentrates archaeological treasures from 9 thousand years before Christ.
In the beginning of the volume, in addition to introductions about history, geography, cuisine and culture, among other subjects, the reader can find the chapter How to Go, which gathers practical information and tips on how to get prepared for the trip to the Amazon in the safest way. Images of photographers such as Araquem Alcantara, Luiz Braga, Cristiano Mascaro, Zig Koch and Rosa Gauditano illustrate all the diversity of the region. There are also texts written by specialist such as environmentalist Joao Meirelles Filho, archeologist Eduardo Neves and journalist Daniel Piza.
