Brazil

Brazil, the largest country in South America, combines golden beaches along the Atlantic, the vast Amazon rainforest and some of the most impressive waterfalls on earth. Rio de Janeiro is famous for Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain and the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, while Salvador in the Northeast offers a colourful old town and a rich culture. With their love of music and football, Brazilians give the whole country a joyful, lively atmosphere.

A destination for every kind of trip

Families enjoy the beaches of Rio and the northeastern coast and the thundering Iguaçu Falls on the border with Argentina. Adventurers head into the Amazon for river trips and wildlife watching, to the Pantanal wetlands, rich in animals, and to the dunes and lagoons of Lençóis Maranhenses. São Paulo, the country's largest city, is a major centre for business, trade fairs and shopping, and is home to a long-established Arab community.

Getting there from Libya

Brazil is reached by air with at least one connection, mainly through the international airports of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Because the country is so vast, domestic flights are the most practical way to travel between regions.
