Why I recommend this place to visitors

The beach is AMAZING. During the winter months down there, the waves are strong but so great to be in. The city of Rio is cultural and there is so much to explore. I did a tour in the Favelas and met some cool people. I want to go back to Rio as well as visit the Igassu Falls!

Why I want to go to this place

I love the mountains – I love the sea – And what better than the menacing mountains just beside the great sea!!! Never been to South America. Brazil is the place I want to be – Not alone – Either with family or with friends or with just a friend ;)

Why I want to go to this place

The land area of Brazil extends over 8.5 million square kilometers, occupying just under half (47%) of the area of Latin America. The country possesses 20% of all the world’s biodiversity; an example of this natural wealth is the Amazon Rainforest, with 3.6 million square kilometers. The political and administrative organization comprises three main Branches of Power: the Judiciary, the Executive and the Legislative, and the principle of autonomy among the Union, the Federal District, 26 states and 5,563 towns and cities.

Ranking fifth among the world’s most populated countries, the population of Brazil amounts to 50 million families or approximately 180 million inhabitants (2004), the majority – 81% – in urban areas. The national birth rate, which reached as high as 6.3 in 1960, currently stands at 2.1 children per female. The result of this decline, which can be associated to an improvement in social indicators and consequently in quality of life, will be a population whose majority of citizens will be aged between 15 and 44 years within the next four decades. This will represent one of the largest job and consumer markets among the countries on the American continent.
