A welcoming land of passion, flair and the indomitable samba spirit, Brazil offers a breadth of cultural richness that is only matched by the striking and abundant tangible attractions that lie between its borders. From the megalopolis of Sao Paulo, by far the largest city in the world, we head into the wilderness to embark on a cruise down the Amazon, the longest river on the planet and a natural phenomenon that has come to epitomize the term 'exotic'.
Gliding through shimmering waters and surrounded by pristine rainforest that comes alive with the chattering of parrots, toucans and macaws, we find an untouched serenity hard to come by in modern times and stop in at traditional villages to meet friendly locals whose ancestors were half-Indian and half-Portuguese. Back on land, we set off on forest walks and see markets and houses built on stilts en route to the Pantanal, the region with the highest concentration of wildlife in South America. Bringing balance to our exploration of Brazil's natural environment, we spend our final days in Rio de Janeiro, one of the most densely populated cities on Earth and a destination that never fails to assault the senses.
