Basking in Brazilian Nature

Almost all of Brazil is dominated by nature. There is the Amazon Rainforest of course, stretching on an epic scale through most of the country. Then so many beaches and surprises, like open grasslands where cowboys gallop. Travel designers can create moments in all of Brazil's landscapes, whether it's sailing to an island, cruising the Amazon or riding horses where few others venture. Here is just a selection of what you can do, including Iguazu Falls.
