A far-reaching tour that reveals this vast country's diverse cultures and varied landscapes. The pace changes with every turn as we head from pulsating Rio de Janeiro, with its achingly beautiful setting, to the relaxed coastal town of Paratí, then from Ouro Preto's tranqui, historic splendour of to the faded grandeur of Manaus and the majesty of the Amazon rainforest. Finally we leave the curious isolation of the purpose-built modern capital of Brasilia, to enjoy the throbbing tropical energy of the former capital, Salvador.
