Brazil has a lot to offer any vacationer traveling alone, as a couple, with the family, friends or in a group. Besides its more traditional and well-known features, such as carnival, soccer and beaches, there is much more in this 8.5 million square-kilometers country than a tourist should guess.

To help you discover Brazil, the Ministry of Tourism has the website www.turismo.gov.br, in English and other languages, which will assist you to prepare your trip. The website has information about Sun and Beach, Culture, Ecotourism, Sport, and Business & Events destinations. Take a look, as well, on Ministry of External Relation's gallery of Brazilian pictures at http://www.dc.mre.gov.br/brasil/img-bras.asp.
