Brazil is located in the Southeast portion of South America.
The largest part of its territory is below the equator line, with tropical
temperate climate and 28°C medium annual temperature. Brazil is favored
by stunning natural resources with large extensions of beaches, mountains,
forest, prairies and amazing places for ecological tourism.
In contrast with its natural beauty, Brazil has very modern
cities, a large and varied range of industries producing from grains to
capital goods. Some Brazilian cities receive every year thousands of people
who come in search of new products and services offered by the several
seminars and exhibitions.
Brazilian culture has been shaped not only by the Portuguese,
who gave the country its religion and language, but also by the country's
native Indians, the considerable African population, and other settlers
from Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
