Brazil is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, filled with sunshine, large forests, stunning beaches, and amazing structures. Brazil is home to the Amazon rainforest, the largest rainforest on the planet. The Amazon covers 80% of the basin, which spans 2.3 million square miles. One of Brazil's most well-known statues is their Christ the Redeemer statue. Over two million people visit the statue each year. Brazil is also known for its amazing food. Brazil's food is delicious and diverse. Along with its bold and complex flavors, you may notice that all the food made in Brazil focuses on fresh ingredients. It is a surprise when finding out that eating at most Brazilian restaurants, you do not have to order, you are served things on a platter. For example, if you are eating at a steakhouse they will bring around a platter serving you meat on a stick. You don’t have one specific waitress, they all walk around asking you if you want a certain cuisine.
While Brazil has a beautiful landscape, delicious cuisine, and diverse culture, Brazil is also one of the most dangerous countries. They have little to no law enforcement, which makes it very hard to enforce the laws of their country. Brazil also has high crime and theft reports. You should always be cautious and aware of your surroundings when walking Brazil's streets. The involvement of drugs in Brazil is multiplying, this can make it very dangerous to be on the streets. Although being in Brazil has many dangers, it is still an amazing country to visit.
