If
 you are contemplating a trip to Brazil, it could be for any number of 
reasons. For some, it could be to experience and enjoy the hundreds and 
hundreds of miles of white sandy beaches. For others, it could be to 
experience the wonders of the Amazon, the wildlife of the Pantanal, the 
awesome power of Foz de Iguaçu (Iguaçu Falls) or the historical 
charm of old cities like Ouro Preto. For still others, it could be to 
experience the music, cuisine and heritage of Brazil's 500 year old 
culture. It doesn't matter if you are drawn by the allures of Rio de 
Janeiro or simply want to kick back and enjoy the delights of a freshly 
made caipirinha and
 do nothing. Brazil is a big country and there are places, people and 
things that will be of interest to even the most jaded traveler. Brazil 
is more than a country, it is a sensation unlike almost anywhere else on the planet.
   To successfully plan 
any trip requires that you have sufficient information. Many Brazilian 
travel guides (such as those published by Lonely Planet, Fodor's, Frommer's, Michelin,
 etc., as well as many online resources) describe areas of interest 
throughout Brazil and have a lot of specific information and 
descriptions. These resources can provide invaluable information when 
planning your trip. Additionally, many cities, states and areas in 
Brazil have English web sites packed with information and resources. 
Just do a search on Google, Yahoo or your favorite search engine for a 
specific state, city or locale.
