Brazil

Despite its vast expanse of territory, Brazil's population is concentrated in the major cities of its coast. The urban sprawls of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo dominate the southern coast.

Further north, towns such as Salvador and João Pessoa retain the colonial atmosphere of the early Portuguese settlers. The great interior, much of which is covered by the rainforest basin of the Amazon, remains sparsely settled.

Amazon

Considered the “greatest river in the world” for the immense area it occupies, the volume of water it carries into the sea and it’s length, the Amazon River is home to a variety of exotic flora, wildlife and cultures. Giant water lilies, colorful birds and tiny Indian villages are everywhere as you cruise this vast waterway.

The Amazon Basin covers an area almost the size of the contiguous United States. Beginning just 100 miles from the Pacific Ocean in the ice fields of the Andes, the Amazon River rolls 4,000 miles eastward to the Atlantic -- in volume nearly one-quarter of the world's freshwater flow.
