São Paulo : São Paulo can be an intimidating place but, if you know someone to show you around or you like big cities, it offers the excitement and nightlife of one of the world's most dynamic places. Attractions include the baroque Teatro Municipal, Niemeyer's Edifício Copan, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) and the 16th-century Patío do Colégio.
The Amazon: The Amazon is a gigantic system of rivers and forests, covering almost half of Brazil and extending into neighboring countries. The wide stretch of river known as Rio Amazonas runs between the cities of Manaus and Belém, though the various rivers that join to form it provide a navigable route for ocean-going vessels to the other side of the South American continent. Amazon Basin: The Amazon Basin covers very wide area 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. So mighty is this outflow of fresh water into the ocean that a Spanish explorer in 1500 named it the "Sweet Sea," failing to comprehend that it might be a river.
