Rio De Janeiro, Brazil Brazil nut We return to the South American mainland from the Falkland Islands for the third and last of three chicken-and-egg etymologies. So far, we’ve found out that turkeys take their name from Turkey (but certainly didn’t originate there), and that canaries take their name from the Canary Islands (which were themselves named after dogs). And last on our list is our next destination: two thousand miles north of the Falklands, in Rio de Janeiro on the southeast coast of Brazil. The question is: which came first – Brazil, or the Brazil nut? The earliest reference

Feijoada is the Brazilian feast dish, originally a dish made up of leftovers given to the slaves by their masters.

A million and a half people live in Brazil’s remote capital, Brasilia. The site was deliberately selected because it was thought that Brazil would never attain its fated greatness unless it ventured away from the comforts of the coast, particularly Rio de Janeiro. The high plain of the area, the planalto, presents a flat landscape with agreeable weather year-round. The city was built in three years and dedicated in 1960, a planned capital in almost every detail. Government buildings are spaced far from each other and the city is tracked by highways. The highways are laid out with as few

All quite possible, flying from Miami to Iquitos, then by boat. Bring T-shirts, marbles, and lipstick for trading purposes. (Blue jeans are not yet in fashion.) Brazil and Argentina share the Iguassu Falls, a series of 275 falls that many viewers swear out-perform Niagara Falls, between the U.S. and Canada, and Victoria Falls, shared by Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa.

The climate can scarcely be more monotonous hot, humid and daily rains with more rain during the rainy season, January to June. The temperature difference from hot to cool months is only about three degrees. Why visit the Amazon? Some like the climate as it is. Bird watchers are delighted. There are birds that moan, others screech, some break into fits of laughter (humor unknown). Of course there is another reason: how many people can tell about their trip on a two-decker boat and the opulent opera house in Manaus with its forty thousand blue, green, and gold ceramic tiles

One of the most awesome, and in some ways, frightening, of exotics is a trip on the Amazon, mightiest of rivers, almost the longest. With its ten thousand tributaries it holds 20 to 25 percent of the world’s fresh water and dumps eleven times the output of the Mississippi into the Atlantic Ocean. The Amazon also refers to a region, one larger than Western Europe, one that extends from Belem on the Atlantic, two thousand miles across Brazil and includes a corner of Peru and a section of Colombia. It covers almost half of Brazil. An island, Marajo, is the

Sao Paulo has Ibirapuera Park, largest of its kind. The park covers two million square meters and contains ten exhibition halls. The Zoological Park is also the largest in the world. Sao Paulo is Brazil’s Chicago and Detroit put together. One of the world’s largest cities, it continues to grow as peasants move in from around the country hoping for a better life. It comes as a surprise to most that Brazil occupies half the land mass of South America and contains half the continent’s population. It is the fifth largest country in land size in the world.
