Blazin’ The Trail To Brazil

Sandy beaches and colorful flip-flops are not the only things that rule in this hot country!


Paradise Found

Brazil is the largest of the Latin American countries. The Amazon River, the second longest in the world after the Nile, is partially found in the Brazilian territory.



“The English Invented It, The Brazilians Perfected It.”

Brazilians love soccer! Legendary star player Pele hails from Brazil. He scored 1,282 goals in his 22-year career. No wonder his nickname is “The King”.



Sight To See

The famous statue of Christ as the Redeemer can be found atop the Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro.



Something To Flip About

Inspired by the Japanese Zori sandals, the first pair of Havaianas was created in 1962. To this day, people around the world love wearing these ultra comfy flip-flops.

Launched in February 2002, W.I.T.C.H. is the number one comic book magazine among Brazilian tweens, selling 70,000 copies every month!
