How It Ranks
Brazil is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. Voters rank Brazil the gold medal in the adventure category for being sexy, fun and scenic. The fifth-largest country in the world seems to have it all: an influential sports culture, 4,600 miles of coastline, the Amazon rainforest and beautiful people. (We see you Gisele Bündchen!)
There’re plenty of bucket list things to do in this country, including hang gliding over Rio de Janeiro, experiencing Iguazu Falls and white water rafting in Brotas. Trust us, you’ll want to plan an extra-long trip to Brazil.
