Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Create a free account to pick your own style (Vintage, Oil Painting, Black & White) and have it remembered next time you visit.

Brazil

Brazil Geography

Changed

Brazil is the largest country in South America, dominated by the Amazon Basin in the north, home to the majority of the world's largest rainforest.

The Brazilian Highlands cover much of the country's center and south, holding São Paulo and most of the population, while the Pantanal, in the west, is the world's largest tropical wetland.

The long Atlantic coastline, stretching over 7,000 kilometers, runs from the Northeast's colonial cities down through Rio de Janeiro's granite peaks to the cooler, more European-influenced south.
