Brazil Facts:  Brazil is located in South America.  Brazil is the world's fifth-largest country, occupying almost half of the South American continent and bordering every country in it except for Chile and Ecuador. Brazil is the home of many famous sites, such as the Amazon rainforest, Rio de Janeiro, and Carnival. The country itself is made up of low level basins of forest and several mountain ranges. The richness and diversity of Brazil's fauna is astounding. The country ranks first in the world for numbers of species of primates, amphibians and plants; third for bird species; and fourth for species of butterflies and reptiles. The climate in Brazil is varied. Depending on location, it can be hot and humid or cool and breezy, but overall the climate is mild throughout the country.

Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country.  Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.
