What to Do in Brazil

Explore the vast nature of the Amazon, the largest tropical forest in the world
Buy high-quality leather shoes, purses & luggage - Le Postiche has 81 shops countrywide
Dance at a local samba club
Experience the parties and parades of Carnival in Rio de Janiero (February or March)
Lay on the beach in the year-round warmth of Bahia
Get wasted on the national drink - a lime caipirinha with incredibly strong cachaça (also can be made with various flavors, vodka or sake)
Visit the spectacular Iguaçu Waterfalls in the South
Eat as much as you can at a "churrascaria" (all-you-can-eat bar-be-que restaurant)
Join the screaming fans at a soccer (futebol) game - in São Paulo, cheer for the Corinthians!
