Discover Brazil in the 21st Century

Capital of Brazil is Brasilia.  Languages: Portuguese, Spanish, English, French


 

Brasilia: Built further towards the center of the country to help bring in tourists and business, the capital city has a mix of architecture and urban planning that was built in only three years. After taking pictures of the buildings, make your way north to the Parque Nacional de Brasília for a swim and to relax. The 135 mile drive further north to Chapada dos Veadeiros is worth a full day trip - waterfalls, natural swimming pools, cliffs and oases mix in this national park and attract ecotourists from all over

Brazil is the only nation to have competed in every FIFA World Cup tournament and the first to win it five times.
Brazil were drawn in the toughest group, with England, the USSR and Austria.
Brazil were eliminated from the tournament after managing just one shot on Fabien Barthez in a 0-1 loss to France in the quarterfinals; the elimination was in many ways similar to the 1998 final.

A Lapwing (bird) flying over a soccer field in Brazil deflected a winning goal 3 minutes before the end of a game. 

Sports fans in Brazil sometimes become so excited that it was necessary to build a wide moat around the playing field of Rio's 180,000-seat Maracar%uFFFDa Stadium. The moat keeps the crowd from running onto the field, molesting the players and attacking the referees.

Over 4 million cars in Brazil are now running on gasohol instead of petrol. Gasohol is a fuel made from sugar cane 

Brazil shares a border with almost every other country in South America--only Chile and Ecuador are untouched--and covers almost half the continent.

Brazil has the world's second largest Christian population (151 million, behind that of the United States), and also is the world's largest Roman Catholic-majority nation in terms of both number of adherents and land mass - a strong cultural legacy left behind by the Roman Catholic Portuguese colonists.

Brazil is thought to have been inhabited for at least 10,000 years by semi-nomadic populations before the first Portuguese explorers, led by Pedro Álvares Cabral, disembarked in 1500.

Brazil's population is mostly concentrated along the coast, with a lower population density in the interior.

Brazil is a leader in science and technology in South America and in some fields a global leader, such as biofuels, agricultural research, deep-sea oil production, and remote sensing. U.S. Government, private sector, and academic researchers have extensive ties with Brazilian counterparts, and the extent of bilateral scientific and technological cooperation is expanding. The Brazilian Government seeks to develop an environment that is more supportive of innovation, taking scientific advances from the laboratory to the marketplace.
