Let's go to start knowing the Brazil, its States and beauties

 

The most densely populated parts of Brazil are in the south-central regions, which include major urban conglomerates like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Because of the rapid growth experienced by this Country in terms of urban development, industrialization and population at the beginning of the 21st century, Brazil is facing a number of social, environmental and political challenges. However, it is also because of this growth that it is doing so well in terms of its economy.

 

In terms of the local culture, Brazil continues to be influenced by the traditions and customs of the Portuguese. This is evident in the architecture, music, literature, cuisine, dance, religion and theater of the country.

 

As the Host Country for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™, it is guaranteed an influx of travelers and football fans from around the world.
