Rio de Janeiro, home to both a Wonder of the World and a Natural Wonder of the World is of course a highlight, but this enormous country has so much more to offer. The Amazon river and the Pantanal are paradises for animal lovers, while Iguassu Falls is the most amazing waterfall I’ve ever seen. There are so many cities each with its own vibe, and beautiful beaches stretching all the way along the long coastline. And of course the world famous carnival, with its colour and energy, which remains on my bucket list.
