Brazil
The fifth-largest country in the world and the largest in South America, Brazil spans from the Amazon rainforest — the 'lungs of the Earth' — to cosmopolitan megacities like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The modernist capital Brasília was purpose-built in the 1960s. Brazil is a global agricultural powerhouse and home to extraordinary biodiversity and cultural diversity.
Major cities: São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Salvador
