5.0 out of 5 stars Full of Culture!
I'm Brazilian and I bought this book for my american family right before our first trip together. The culture info. is great. Just a little outdated on economy issues and also the pictures are old. But over all, is the best guide I ever found! I read it now for pleasure. Sandra Thurston

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures!
Although not as informative and detailed as "A Rough Guide to Brazil," it does have some interesting pieces about certain Brazilian cities and culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good introductory book for "gringos", June 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Insight Guide Brazil (Discovery Channel) (Paperback)
My Brazilian friend living in New York with an American family bought this book for her "host" father as a Father's Day gift. Out of all of the books on Brazil she could have chosen, she selected this one because of its nice graphics and wide-variety of information about her native country. She recommend it so highly, that I bought one for myself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful country, Beautiful travel guide?, August 28, 2007
This review is from: Insight Guide Brazil (Discovery Channel) (Paperback)
This guide has beautiful pictures, but little in the way of actual travel information. I'm a very visual person and love to see where I might go. If this sounds like you too, then buy this book. Add Lonely Planet's guide and you are all set to go.

This review is from: Insight Guide Brazil (Discovery Channel) (Paperback)
This is an attractive book with lots of photos, but I found the Frommer's Guide to be more detailed and functional as a tourist visiting Brazil. There is a lot of useful information to be gained from this book.
