This week we're goin to Brasil

Hi everyone, this week we're traveling to the exotic land of Brasil. For those of you who are unfamiliar, Brasil is located in South America. It is the fifth largest country in the world and is bordered by many other countries in South America including my home country of Guyana. I'm not going to get into the country's history since that is what the Wikipedia link to the right of the page is for.  However, I will let you know that the language spoken there is Portuguese and like many countries in the Caribbean, Brasil was one of the countries used as a port for rest and for slave trade. It is because of this that the culture there is made up of a combination of different cultures from all around the world. 

Ahhh Brasil. Many tourist who travel to the country will most likely go to Rio or Sao Paulo since those are the larger cities and some of the richer areas in the country. When you're not sipping on coconut milk or chilling at the nude beach, you might be visiting the casinos, enjoying some of the country's' fine cuisine or taking a guide through some of the safer trails. But if you want to live like a real Brasileiro, you should visit the areas around Manaus AKA the Amazon.
