Brazil is perhaps South America’s most emblematic country, but it’s also a regional anomaly. It’s a Portuguese-speaking country surrounded by Spanish-speaking neighbors. It’s one of the most ethnically-diverse countries found anywhere in the world. It’s also massive in size and home to one of the world’s last true wilderness areas, the Amazon Rainforest. It should come as no surprise, then, that Brazil is one of the world’s greatest destinations for adventure tourism—and like everything else in this country, there is so much going on that sometimes the array of possibilities can be overwhelming. Let’s take a look at just a few of the choices that magnificent Brazil has to offer:

| Paddling up the Amazon River |
The Amazon Rainforest is the world’s largest, and it’s also home to the planet’s most massive river system. The Amazon River itself is huge and is able to accommodate larger ships, making it a popular destination for luxurious “river cruises” that still provide a window into the natural beauty of the jungle ecosystem. For a true adventure, however, take the opportunity to explore some of the river’s tributaries in smaller vessels or even a traditional dugout canoe. In doing so, you’ll get up close and personal with the flora and fauna of both the river and the forest and you may even experience a chance encounter with one of the region’s many still-thriving indigenous tribes.
