Iguaçu
Among the world's great natural marvels, Iguaçu Falls is made up of
275 waterfalls that rush endlessly over a breathtaking cliff 3km
wide. Unspoiled tropical forest surrounds the falls, which can be
explored by foot, bike or boat.
Salvador
Salvador is the Bahia region's most historic city - its 1549
founding marked the beginning of longstanding Portuguese occupation
- and also offers picture-perfect beaches and some of the country's
most electrifying nightlife.
Manaus Opera House
The Manaus Opera House, an opulent Italian Renaissance theater built
in 1896, symbolises Manaus' role as the cultural and commercial hub
of the Amazonas state.

Circulo Militar Restaurant
In Belém's historic fort, the ritzy Circulo Militar is the place to
go for an Amazon-size splurge. Feast on lobster and other fish
specialties as you savor the panoramic views of the rainforest.
Parque Nacional de Tijuca
Not many cities can boast of a national park in their midst, but
Rio's Parque Nacional de Tijuca's wealth of flora and fauna makes an
ideal escape from the bustle of the streets.
Pomerode
For a glimpse of German Brazil, travel to Santa Catarina and, in
particular, the small town of Pomerode, where ninety percent of the
population are descended from German immigrants and eighty percent
still speak the language.
Diamantina
Though Diamantina, the most distinctive of the colonial mining
centers north of Belo Horizonte, is far off the beaten track, the
variety of landscapes you'll pass on your way there and the
well-preserved buildings that fill the town are well worth the trip.
