Brazil

Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro
Think of South America and think of Rio de Janeiro, with its colourful carnival, Copacabana Beach and the statue of Christ the Redeemer peers over all that lies below. Think of beautiful people and beautiful (ish!) football, the Amazon Jungle, the magnificent Iguassu Falls, miles and miles of white sandy coastline and stunning beach resorts. Brazil is home to all of this and much more - prepare to experience everything you've ever dreamed of.
