Michael Sommers has lived in Brazil for ten years and serves as a Brazilian correspondent for several U.S.-based magazines, and his passion and excitement for the country shines through in Moon Brazil. Sommers guides travelers to the best that Brazil has to offer, from surfing, hang gliding, and enjoying the sizzling nightlife in Rio to venturing into the Amazon to witness the Meeting of the Waters, where the dark waters of the Rio Negro encounter the lighter hued Rio Solimões, forming the world's mightiest river, the Amazon. Also included are unique trip strategies such as A Tale of Two Amazon Cities, which provides details on exploring the rainforest from Manaus and Belém, and Gastronomic Brazil, a mouthwatering tour of Brazil's cuisine. With expert advice on viewing Iguaçu Falls, with its series of 275 waterfalls that rush over a two-mile-wide precipice, and relaxing in small rustic fishing villages in Bahia, Moon Brazil gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.
