The music, the beaches, the wildlife, and most importantly the people: it's hard not to fall for Brazil. One can never tire of watching the sunset from Arpoador, chasing the samba scene in Lapa or wandering the village like streets of Santa Teresa.
The urban jungles are just as big an attraction as the natural ones. Cosmopolitan cities like Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Sao Paulo offer visitors a dizzying array of cultural activities, whether it's a samba lesson in a nightclub, browsing designer shops, wandering through museums and art galleries, or taking a trip up to the famous Christ the Redeemer statue. Festivals like the famous (or infamous) Carnival showcase this love for life, one that tends to rub off a little on every visitor.
