Brazil, a land of culture
This continent-sized country has been forged by 500 years of history and is filled with colonial cities, tropical desert islands, Amazonian rain forests and countless other treasures.
In this exceptional land, the Afro-Brazilian culture which moves to the rhythm of samba and bossa nova is matched by a characteristically wild landscape, remarkable beaches and the country’s famous carnivals.
Brazil, a cocoa-growing country
Brazil is one of the oldest cocoa producing countries. In the 1930s, Brazil was the world’s leading cocoa producer. It quickly lost this status, however, when a fungal disease struck in about the year 1990. Currently, Brazil is the fifth biggest producer country, growing 6% of the world’s cocoa.
