I had always wanted to spend time in Brazil. In fact, it remains one of my favorite countries. But it's really its own continent. Unimaginably huge, like the Amazon, it takes a day to get from one end to the other by plane. Clearly, it's impossible to see it all, and every year I find itinerary stops for my next visit. In 2014, though, we had to do what we could with out 10 day itinerary.
Rio de Janiero - Five Star to Favela
City of Light is the movie portraying the disparate cultures of Brazil's coastal metropolis.
