More than a country in South America, Brazil is a continent in the continent: almost 8,512,000 square kilometers, 286 times Belgium, nearly 16 times the France!
"A land of contrasts," said anthropologist Roger Bastide in a formula that made success against brutal materialism mysticism exacerbated sumptuous splendor carnival daily against poverty, against futuristic baroque colonial delusions of BrasÃlia, ardent Christian fervor and trance possession African gods, colossal fortunes against endemic undernourishment ... We did not finish in the list.
Amazon infinite colossal Iguazu Falls, the quadrilateral of drought in marshland Pantanal, Brazil, nature reached the extremes of excess. Exaggeration! That may be the key to Brazil. A civilization that is constructed, defeated, reborn with crunches, explosions and incredible energy.
So come to Brazil for its beaches, for the sun, for his music for the single mad world of the carnival, for its rain forests and jungles of the cities ... and especially to shake your beliefs, to let you devour, delicately, without resistance, by "Indians" and "Indian" natives of this land ... Brazil, to cross cultural borders.
