BRAZIL

Brazil is a country of extraordinary size, covering almost half of South America , granting it an expressive cultural diversity and a huge variety of landscape and people, causing deep impression on its visitors.
 

This is a country of lovely tropical climate and bright colors.
Its geography also contains a large variety of fauna and flora, offering a sequence of charms, starting from an impervious forest, going through a vast variety of mountains of different sizes, large swamplands and several large rivers nets - sometimes moving along plain lands or forming magnificent waterfalls -until they arrive at the Atlantic coast, attired for about 8.000 kilometers of continuous beautiful beaches.
If the natural views impresses , the country’s culture captivates visitors irresistibly.
 

Brazilian people come from a complex ethnic mix, first by Indians, Portuguese and African Negroes, and after admitting continuously for so many other cultures and people.
Their cultural identity was formed based on values of tolerance, solidarity, and happiness of living and also the taste of ancient things. The Brazilians are lovely hosts who love to laugh, sing and dance.

Brazil is also a complex country, contradictory, unfair and unequal, reflecting one of the highest concentrations of income in the world. Less than 1% of Brazil's population owns more than 42% of money and property. But, at the same time, it gives people lots of opportunities to improve.
 

The complexity of Brazilian society is the reason of their difficulties by huge social contradictions and at the same time the source of their creative energy generated, that is necessary to take a firm stand, among all other nations according to their capacity, a position more compatible to its potential.
