South & Central America

The sheer size and scale of Brazil is perhaps its most intriguing and formidable quality. Covering almost half of the entire continent, Brazil is a country of superlatives….it is home to the evergreen mass of the Amazon jungle which is the largest tropical rainforest and the most diverse eco-system on earth; the Pantanal is the greatest wildlife wetland region on the planet and the Iguazu Falls are without doubt the most awe-inspiring of all waterfalls.

From the colour and passion of Carnival to the thousands of kilometres of sun-kissed beaches and from the serene natural beauty of Rio de Janeiro to the rich traditions and architectural opulence of old colonial gems such as Salvador, Ouro Preto and Parati, there are few countries that can conjour such an all-encompassing sense of wonder.
