Brazil, a country a bit smaller than the entire USA, is South America’s giant. It has the longest continuous coastline in the world, think of all those beaches; extraordinary rain forests, think of all that jungle; and pulsating, never-go-to-sleep, rhythm-filled cities, think of all that fun. Brazil lies in the eastern portion of South America, bordered by ten different countries. Its official language is Portuguese, and English is not widely spoken except in some larger cities.
