Everything from Brazil

Brazil is the largest country in South America, covering almost half the continent. It borders every South American nation except Chile and Ecuador, with a vast Atlantic coastline. Its geography is diverse, including the Amazon rainforest, Pantanal wetlands, and highlands like the Serra do Mar. A Portuguese colony for over 300 years, Brazil gained independence in 1822 and developed into a federal republic.

Today, it has a population of about 214 million, making it the most populous country in Latin America. Brazil is known for its cultural diversity, influenced by Indigenous, African, and European traditions. The capital is Brasília, a planned city inaugurated in 1960, while São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are major cultural and economic centers.
