Timed for the 2014 World Cup and 2016 Olympic Games, this first edition guidebook to Brazil, navigates from sizzling Rio to stunning Igua u Falls to Bahia's tiny fishing villages to the depths of the Amazon. Readers journey through this vast and enticing country, covering the best sights, and lesser-known ones as well. The guide features gorgeous photographs and maps and a chapter full of in-depth, practical information, including how to get around the country, an extensive listing of handpicked hotels and restaurants, and selective shopping and entertainment options. It includes walking and driving tours through Rio's Historic Centro and the wineries of Bento Gon alves; experiential sidebars (dance the salsa, join in Carnaval, kite surf in northeast Brazil); and insider tips from National Geographic experts.
