Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Brazil features some of the most varied and unspoilt landscapes in the world. The wetlands of Pantanal and the Amazon, the vast tracts of the Brazilian rainforest, the beautiful and deserted beaches of the northeast coast and the mountains and caves of the Serra do Mar are home to a diversity of wildlife that is breathtaking. The Bradt Guide to Brazil, a fully revised edition of the book originally published as Backcountry Brazil, is the only guide specifically written for the ecotourist. Based around a number of 'gateway' cities, while deliberately steering the traveler clear of the country's urban sprawl, it concentrates on the wonders of Brazil's natural history and the Afro-Brazilian culture which is fast being eroded by the march of progress.
