Very few countries have more top models then Brazil. I'm sure you've
heard of Giselle Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Isabeli
Fontana, Raica Oliveira, Jeisa Chiminazzo, Ana Claudia Michels, Ana
Beatriz Barros, Fernanda Tavares, Fernanda Motta, Ana Paula Araujo, and
Aline Nakashima, just to name few, but it's not just the super models
that make Brazilian women famous the world over. The beautiful women
that take part in Carnival, as well as the beach bunnies that line the
beaches of Brazil with their amazingly skimpy bikinis have drawn the
attention of men from all corners of the globe.

and most festive parties anywhere in the world. In Brazil carnival is
the most popular Brazilian festivity, far beyond Christmas, Easter or

as a candidate to one of the New7Wonders of Nature by the New Seven

Brazil is a country of mixed ethnicities however, it seems the African
influenced parts of the culture such as Capoeira and the Samba have
reached more notoriety on an international basis. Capoeira is an
Afro-Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, music,
and dance. It was created in Brazil by slaves brought from Africa. It,
as well as the Samba music and dance have made their way into various
movies, documentaries, music videos, and other main stream media.

of the coffee grown in Brazil is the great diversity due to differences
in soils, climate, species and varieties, and cultivation techniques in
each region.

São Paulo). According to a survey conducted by the Food Service EDC,
