Aside from having the biggest size and population in South America, Brazil is endowed with rich natural resources and has many modern and historic attractions. Of note, Brazil is acknowledged as a major international power in the world of football (or soccer as it is also known in the US), especially in World Cup championships.
Major Brazilian cities include Brasilia (the capital), Sao Paulo (the largest), Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and Fortaleza. Worthy of special mention are the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro (one of the 7 Wonders of the World and an icon for Rio and Brazil) and the Amazon River ( the longest river in South America).
In Brazil, which is such a vast country of diverse people and culture, there is so much to discover.
