The Rough Guide to Brazil (Paperback, 4Rev ed)

The totally revised third edition of the Rough Guide to Brazil took authors David Cleary, Jens Finke, Jim Hine, Dilwyn Jenkins and Oliver Marshall from the favelas of São Paulo to the frontier ranching country of the Mato Grosso and the remote rain forests of Amazonia. Apart from informed accounts of great cities such as Rio, São Paulo and Salvador, there are up-to-the-minute listings of accommodation and restaurants right across Brazil, together with really practical coverage of the best beaches and hikes, and full details on river travel and jungle tours in the Amazon region. There's a stack of incisive commentary on Brazilian culture too - colonial architecture, the extraordinarily rich and seductive musical heritage and, of course, the riotous Carnaval.
