RIO DE JANEIRO: Mountains, rainforests, emerald green lakes and miles of white sand beaches – all natural attributes that challenge other cities to match Rio de Janeiro in beauty and location. Nevertheless, perhaps the greatest attribute of this city is its people, the Cariocas.
FOZ DO IGUAZU : More than twice as large as the Niagara Falls and truly one of the most spectacular sites that nature has to offer, the magnificent Iguassu Falls not only divide the powerful Iguazu River, but also separates Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay borders. Comprising 275 separate falls that stretch for more than 2 km, many of which are over 60.000m in height, it affords visitors breathtaking panoramic views, particularly from the brazilian side.
