About Brazil
The rhythm of South America — Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana Beach, Iguazu Falls, Amazon rainforest, Carnival, churrasco, and a warm welcoming culture.
Brazil is South America's giant — a country of extraordinary natural beauty, vibrant culture, and warm people. Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer and Copacabana Beach are global icons. Iguazu Falls is one of the world's most spectacular waterfalls. The Amazon rainforest covers 60% of the country. São Paulo is Latin America's economic powerhouse with world-class gastronomy. Salvador pulses with Afro-Brazilian culture. For Gulf visitors, Brazil has a small but growing Muslim community — halal restaurants exist in São Paulo and Rio, and the Brazilian churrascaria (steakhouse) tradition is naturally halal-friendly when ordering beef and chicken.
