Detailed map of Brazil with Road Map of Brazil with Highways and Expressways, major routes and border crossings. Brazil shares borders with Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname to the north, Colombia, Peru and Bolivia to the west, and Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay to the south. Brazil is the largest country in South America, covering almost half of the continent, with dominant features including the Amazon rain forest expanse, breathtaking beaches, tropical islands and charming colonial towns.
The capital Brasilia, Rio de Janeiro, as well as Sao Paulo are modern bustling cities with a flourishing economy, inhabited by a melting pot of ethnic groups and cultures, the dominant traditions being rich and melodious Brazilian music and football. Portuguese is the official language, although Spanish, English, Italian, French and German are widespread.
The coastline is the most visited area, with its dramatic views and beautiful ocean surf, though the world's biggest forest, the Amazon, is by far the jewel of this country. Few tourists venture into the wilderness areas of Pantanal, or the canyons and caves of the Chapada Diamantina, or the gold mining towns of Minas Gerais. The sites one must not miss are the Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro with the Cristo Redentor at its summit, as well as Rio's famous beaches, Ipanema and Copacabana.
The Falls of Iguacu are also a must, situated in a protected national park populated by abundant wildlife, these high waterfalls boast 275 cataracts which include the spectacular Garganta del Diablo (Devil's Throat). The colorful city of Salvador da Bahia, part of UNESCO World Heritage, is also a must with its characteristic cobblestone streets and colonial houses, while the ultra modern city of Brasilia will strike you with its futuristic architecture and majestic cathedral, also part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
The climate in Brazil varies greatly, as do the time zones, due to its vast surface area. There are very hot regions in the interior part of the country and other tropical ones with heavy rainfalls. The mountain areas can also get quite cold during the winter season.
