According to the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report (2019) from the World Economic Forum, Brazil is the second nation in the world when it comes to natural attractions and its landscape covers an area of over 8.5 million square kilometers.

Therefore, there are endless possibilities for all travelers to discover in Brazil - regardless of whether you are looking for adventure, traveling with your family, getting to know the country's culture and gastronomy, or simply relaxing.
