Brazil is the largest country in Latin America. It spreads across almost half (47.3%) of South America, and occupies a total area of 8,547,403.5 km2. It is the fifth largest country in the world after Canada, the Russian Federation, China and the United States. Except for a small number of islands, Brazil is a single and continuous land mass. The Equator passes through the northern region, near Macapá, and the Tropic of Capricorn cuts through the south of the country, near São Paulo. Brazil’s east to west extension (4,319.4 km) is almost equivalent to its north to south distance (4,394.7 km). The country borders French Guiana,

 Suriname, Guiana, Venezuela and Colombia, to the north; Uruguay and Argentina, to the south; and Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru, to the west. Ecuador and Chile are the only two countries on the South American continent that do not border Brazil. The Atlantic Ocean extends along the country’s entire eastern coast, providing 7,367 km of coastline.

 

The mix of races has made Brazil a culturally rich and at the same time unique country. This miscegenation began with the Indian, the African and the Portuguese, but in a short time, immigrants from around the world began to arrive: Europeans, Asians, Jews and Arabs. The result was a happy people, open to everything new, a people only found in Brazil.


Because of this tremendous diversity, Brazil is one of the last places on earth where no one is a foreigner, where one can change one’s destiny without losing one’s identity and where each and every Brazilian has a little of the entire world in his or her blood. This may be the reason the Brazilian receives anyone from another land so well.

 

In Brazil, exuberance is everywhere: at the immensity of the desert-like sands of the Lençóis Maranhenses; at the seven thousand kilometers of coastline; at the rivers so wide they look like seas; at the Amazon Forest, the largest on the planet; at the 250 thousand square kilometers of Mato Grosso swamplands, the impressive nature reserve - a Heritage of Humanity.


Beauty also reigns: at the 44 national parks that preserve the ecosystem; at the long rows of coconut trees that line the sea of Alagoas; at the Chapada Diamantina in Bahia; at Pico de Itatiaia in Rio de Janeiro; at the archaeological sites in Piauí; at the sunsets of Brasília; at the pampas of Rio Grande do Sul; at the impressive mountains of Minas Gerais and at the amazing pororoca, the strange and noisy meeting of waters in the States of Amapá and Pará.
