The Journey

The magical adventure through the land of contrasts!

Brazil - that means endless expanses of the Amazon rainforest, dreamlike beaches, Rio de Janeiro, carnival, and samba. All of this is true, but Brazil is so much more, a gigantic country of superlatives. With an area of 8.5 million square kilometers, Brazil is almost as large as Europe and occupies half of the South American continent. On our adventure trip, you will explore a part of this fascinating country! The climate varies from the tropical warm north through various subtropical zones to the temperate south. Since the 16th century, when the Portuguese began to settle the land, Brazil has exerted a magical attraction on foreigners. In the past, gold, rubber, and coffee lured them; today, it is mainly the fiery rhythms and exotic flair that captivate visitors. The largest country in South America is a kaleidoscope of intoxicating impressions.
