Larger than life Brazil knows how to throw a good party. Its samba-style Carnival-which is at its most boisterous in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador-is probably the largest gathering for unrestrained revelry on the planet. The country has great islands, beaches and picture-perfect Portuguese colonial architecture in many towns. Brazil boasts a booming economy, intense football fans and unique homegrown musical styles such as bossa nova and tropicalismo. Diverse ethnic cultures, including native peoples can be appreciated here. Beyond the beaches, an expedition on the mighty Amazon may be just the thing.
Volunteering in Brazil is an excellent way to serve the country's children and communities and presents opportunities to explore this great country and thoroughly experience its culture in a different, immersive way. Volunteer opportunities in Brazil include: working in an orphanage, teaching English, working in healthcare projects, and supporting many local non-profit organizations.
