Brazil is a truly vast country. It borders all but 2 of the countries in South America and has a variety and diversity of wildlife which is unequalled almost anywhere else in the world. Originally a Portuguese colony, modern day Brazil has a very clear national identity and is now famed for its flamboyant carnivals, glorious sandy beaches and of course abundant wildlife. Ask most people about Brazil and the first thing they think of is the Amazon River. This mighty river cuts its way through great swathes of primary rainforest and is home to literally 1000's of species of birds and mammals. Travel south and you swap the dense jungle for the open flood plains of the Pantanal where you find Greater Anteater, Anaconda and a plethora of colourful birds. To the south are the amazing Iguazu Falls - if that is not enough there is always the option of relaxing on a long sandy beach with just a few dolphins for company!
