Travelers' Tales Brazil

Brazil is a land of superlatives. It has the biggenst freshwater fish and the rivers to go with them, the largest jungle, and the greatest number of species. It makes the world’s best music and throws the world’s wildest party. The land where primeval eets modernity teems with life?and what makes life worth living?and nothing is done in moderation. Travelers’ Tales Brazil shines a light on a country where the commingling of cultures?of indiginous tribes, Portuguese colonists, West Africans?created a people who are unafraid to embrace life. The Brazilians haev a word?saudade?that means a longing for what could have been. It’s a feeling as universal as the sun, but in Brazil no one, including the traveler, allows saudade to interfere with the moment. For the traveler, though, it’s a feeling that lingers long after leaving Brazil.
