Experience Rio de Janeiro with its samba and football-mad locals and the fabulously famous Copacabana Beach. To make the most of Brazil's stunning natural beauty, take a trip to the Iguazo Falls, where a total of 275 individual falls occupy an area more than two miles wide and 80 metres high, making them wider than Victoria, higher than Niagara and more beautiful than both. Brazil’s vast size, welcoming atmosphere and world class sights makes it a superb choice for a South American holiday.

Copacabana Beach is the largest beach in Rio de Janeiro and is arguably the most famous in the world. Situated just off the foot of Pão de Açucar (Sugarloaf Mountain), there is nowhere better in Brazil to unwind in style. Brilliant for photos and with a tremendous atmosphere, the beach was made famous by its nightclubs, casinos and hotels in the 1950s. Copacabana Beach is a joy to behold and is dominated by luxury hotel resorts, outdoor restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Further south, the beach scene near São Paulo can be just as inviting as Rio's – if a little harder to get to. Litoral Norte is a local favourite, with the gorgeous azure seas melting into the powdery white sand.

Some of the top ten festivals in Brazil include the surrealist São Luís, Maranhão, which is a multi-cultural festival derived from African, Indian and Portuguese influences that have evolved since colonial times. Always a vibrant occasion, those wanting a different festival flavour should attempt this one if they can. Alternatively, the Recife and Porto Seguro festivals are typically hedonistic bashes full of Samba music and Latin rhythms that will ensure festival goers will have a party of their lifetime. Otherwise, another option is Carnatal, which takes to the streets every December and is an out-of-season favourite for those wanting to experience a more off-kilter Brazilian festival.
