Brazil The Guide

“Brazil: The Guide” will help you quickly and easily discover where you need to travel to in Brazil (and how); and what you need to see and do while you are in the country. No fuss, no puff, just what you actually need to know to plan a visit to Brazil, be it on business or leisure. The pleasure – in Brazil – is a given.

Acknowledged Brazil expert, Christopher Pickard, who lived in Rio for over 20 years and has even run the Brazilian Tourist Office, wrote and developed "Brazil: The Guide” from his legendary “Insider’s Guide to Rio de Janeiro" that was last published in print form in 1995. Chris, who has contributed on Brazil to many books, magazines, newspapers and TV and radio programmes, also published “World Cup: The Guide”, and is the ghost of ex-Rio resident Ronnie Biggs ("Odd Man Out: The Last Straw") and is a true Brazilian insider.
