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

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

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.
