The gem in Portugal´s crown during the colonial era continues to glisten. Brazil’s sandy-white beaches lace the South American Atlantic, the jungle interior shelters the world´s largest tropical forest park, and the famous ¨Christ the Redeemer¨ holds his arms outstretched to welcome all to Rio de Janiero. Although the Amazon invites adventure, and the beaches invite relaxation, Brazilians also know how to throw a party. The fifth largest country in the world, Brazil seems to get just a little bigger during New Year´s Reveillon and Carnival festivities.
