Brazil is treasured as much for its vibrant culture as its breathtaking beaches and lush tropical rainforests. Brazil exudes an energy that is completely its own, embodied by its open, friendly people, unmatched geographical beauty and vivacious spirit.

Brazilets originated in the north of the country in Bahia, one of the most populous areas of Brazil that is steeped in many centuries of cultural history. In the sixteenth century, Portuguese explorers first entered Brazil through Bahia and the area quickly grew as a melting pot of European and African cultures combined with that of the indigenous population.The capital, Salvador, has become a frenetic, bustling city with what many say holds Brazil's best Carnival, but Bahia retains its unique culture and spiritual charm.
