BEACH CULTURE
Wide, sandy beaches along the
eastern coast of Brazil provide a
playground for large numbers of
Brazilians who come here to relax,
meet friends, and play volleyball or
football. By far the most popular beach
is Copacabana (right) in Rio de Janeiro.
Only the strongest swimmers brave
the strong tides of the Atlantic.
AMAZON TRANSPORT
The Amazon River provides Brazil
with its most important transportation
link, not only for tourists but also
for trade. Large boats can travel as
far inland as the city of Manaus.
RIO CARNIVAL
During the five days leading up to Lent,
Rio de Janeiro celebrates Carnival. There
are street parties, balls, and parades in the
streets, and samba schools compete for
awards for best costume and best float.
