The best places to visit

Theres no place on earth like Brazil. It has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world,
some of the busiest, most exciting cities, as well as the biggest area of unexplored rainforest
on the planet. Most people live near the sea so there is a lot of empty space.
The country is, of course, enormous. In fact, Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world. It
covers half of South America and has borders with every South American country except
Chile and Ecuador. It has 19 cities and more than 170 million people.
Brazil is a fascinating place to visit. The people are warm and friendly and they generally
welcome tourists to their country. Traditionally, Brazilians give presents to their hosts when
they visit people, so its a good idea if you do the same! Typical gifts include flowers, sweets,
and champagne.
When we think of Brazil, we think of football, music, dancing, and beaches. The most popular
pastimes will not come as a surprise: playing football, listening to music, dancing, walking on
the beach, or just talking.
