Brazil

Has anyone been? What was it like?

Beautiful beaches, warm, friendly people, alluring scenery... but like all underdeveloped countries, the juxtaposition of wealth against abject poverty is jarring for most people whose own countries have a large middle class...

The only part I've visited is the Iguazu (sp?) Falls - definitely worth a long trip. Visit the Argentinian side as well and be prepared to get wet.

Why do you ask?

we were thinking of a holiday there

Rio is a fantastic place to see. Beaches,Sugar Loaf, Corcovada (Statue of Christ) all a must and very enjoyable. But be warned depending on time of year it can be very humid. I remember walking in shirt sleeves when it started raining and you actually welcomed it.
Yes, there are the slum areas but well worth a visit. Don't bother about Santos but take a trip to Brasilia.
