São Paulo, Brazil’s vibrant financial center, is among the world's most populous cities, with numerous cultural institutions and a rich architectural tradition. Its iconic buildings range from its neo-Gothic cathedral and the 1929 Martinelli skyscraper to modernist architect Oscar Niemeyer’s curvy Edifício Copan. The colonial-style Pátio do Colégio church marks where Jesuit priests founded the city in 1554.
Rio de Janeiro is a huge seaside city in Brazil, famed for its Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, 38m Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mount Corcovado and for Sugarloaf Mountain, a granite peak with cable cars to its summit. The city is also known for its sprawling favelas (shanty towns). Its raucous Carnaval festival, featuring parade floats, flamboyant costumes and samba dancers, is considered the world’s largest.
Piauí is a state in northeast Brazil, known for its national parks. Parque Nacional Serra da Capivara in the southeast features archaeological sites containing prehistoric rock paintings. Nearby Parque Nacional Serra das Confusões features gigantic rock formations and large areas of caatinga (semi-arid vegetation), home to endangered birds. Mango trees line the streets of the riverside capital, Teresina.
Pará, a northern Brazilian state, is the site of Amazonia National Park. Protecting a vast swath of the dense, lush Amazon Rainforest, the park is home to thousands of wildlife species. Much of it floods annually, making remote areas accessible by boat. Near the mouth of the Amazon River is Belém, Pará's capital. It’s known for its colonial architecture and waterside market Ver-o-Peso.
Bahia is a northeastern Brazilian state with varied terrain, from tropical coast to the desertlike Sertão region. Capital Salvador is known for its historic center, Pelourinho, rich with 17th-century colonial architecture and perched above Baía de Todos os Santos (All Saints’ Bay). The city’s annual Carnaval celebration brings together flamboyantly costumed dancers with samba and axé music for a massive street party.
