Brazil is a fascinating country. While it is known for such wonders such as Christ the Redeemer, and it’s famous national football team, and the Amazon forest, Brazil has so much more than these wonders. It is also one of the best countries to travel around and view all the sights, meet the people, and learn about the wonderful culture in Brazil. Since Brazil is a former colony of Portugal, Portuguese is the language spoken in Brazil. We recommend visitors to Brazil
learn a little Portuguese. If you travel to the rest of South America, you may also want to
learn Spanish too.
