Travel South America | Clint Denn Travels – Brazil – Giant of the South

Brazil, the worlds fifth largest in size with the sixth largest population, is considerably larger than all of Europe combined. If ever a country showed contradictions, it must be said it is truest of Brazil, from the elegant magnificence of Rio de Janeiro to the dark, forested backwaters of the Amazon. On the southern border with Argentina is Iguassu Falls. It is the worlds fourth largest waterfall by volume and perhaps the most spectacular. Brazils coastline staggers the imagination; 4600 miles of varying, rugged coast, harbors, islands and amazing white sand beaches. But if ever an area defied superlatives, it is the Amazon River Basin, draining an area larger that the contiguous United States. The promise is here to see; from Iguassu Falls, in the south to the Amazon in the north. Between are the people, the land, and a way of life. Brazil comes alive in Clint Denns Brazil Giant of the South.
