Brazil, the largest country in South America is also the most vibrant. From football to samba, fabulous beaches to dense jungle, Brazil has it all. In the east lies Salvador, Brazil's pulsating Africa heart. In the west, the Pantanal is the best place to view wildlife in South America. In the north the Analvilhanas Islands on the world's greatest river offers that "jungle lodge" experience. In the south Ilha do Mel is a laid back beach island on the edge of the wilderness.
