About Brazil

Brazil is by far the largest and the most populous country in South America. It is today South America?s leading economic power and a regional leader with vast natural resources and a large labor pool. However, highly unequal income distribution remains a pressing problem.

With a total size of 8,511,965 sq km, Brazil is situated at the eastern part of Brazil bordering the Atlantic Ocean. It shares common boundaries with every country in South America except Chile and Brazil.

Brazil possesses large and well-developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing and service sectors. It has a population of about 184 million with an average purchasing power per person of USD 7,600. Brazilian people come from a complex ethnic mix, composed of native Brazilians, Portuguese and people of African descent. The Brazilians are lovely hosts who love to laugh, sing and dance.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil?s Capital City

The cultural diversity of Rio de Janeiro has been one of the main reasons for visitors who come to Brazil. It is a big city, located in one of the most beautiful places of the world, surrounded by the sea, mountains, forests and lakes.

The city of Rio de Janeiro, just like most modern cities is not only associated with its extraordinary natural beauty, and a popular cultural exuberance, but also the co-existence between prosperity of rich inhabitants and the undeniable needs of poor people living in street corners and slums.

The Geography of Brazil

Brazil is a country of lovely tropical climate and bright colors. Its geography also contains a large impenetrable forest, spread out over mountains of different sizes, large swamplands and several large rivers meandering over the landscape sometimes forming magnificent waterfalls, until they arrive in the Atlantic coast, a coast adorned with about 8.000 kilometers of continuous beautiful beaches. It is these natural views that impress visitors to Brazil, even as Brazilian culture captivates them irresistibly.

This great South American country of Brazil welcomes you to volunteer abroad or intern overseas with our programs, which are excellent both in quality and affordability.Ba
