With Brazil hosting the 2014 World Cup, football is coming home. Of course football originally came from Britain but it was the Brazilians that perfected it.

The Brazil World Cup 2014 will happen during the months of June and July and the country is expected to be sold out from tourists far in advance.

In Brazil, lies the world's largest tropical wetland named Pantanal.  Within the wetlands are sub-regional ecosystems that exist, each with its own ecological, hydrological and geological characteristics. 

If you did not make it to New Years Eve in Rio de Janeiro this past year, it is never too early to start planing your trip for next year. After Carnaval, New Years Eve to Brazilians is the next biggest celebration, attracting people from all over the world to be a part of the biggest party on the planet. Over two million people fill the Copacabana beach area every year for this highly celebrated occasion.

One of the most famous holidays in Brazil is the Brazilian Carnival. It is an annual festival held 40 days prior to Easter and lasts for 4 days. It begins on a Saturday and ends on Fat Tuesday. It is such a special holiday because instead of celebrations, observing someone famous in history, it is a celebration for the people as a nation.
