I always love the Lonely Planet guide books. They always start off with such wonderful pictures and the top 20 or 10 of places to visit. For example, in Brazil, the best tourist attraction, according to them, is Pão de Açúcar. It's a lovely mountain with a lovely view of golden beaches and green hills with skyscrapers on the shore. Pick up a copy from Amazon, or your local bookstore to find out the rest! I like the beginning most, because each of the places in the top 20, have their own page in the book. For example, you can find out more about Pão de Açúcar on page 59 and 60. I also like how the authors put the history behind the buildings and landmarks. There are also transportation tips, restaurant tips, hotel tips, boat tips, and so much more! You could really flip to any page and learn something new about Brazil. The authors didn't forget to add pictures and detailed information about the wildlife living in the Amazon Rainforest! If you need to know anything about Brazil, this book is one of the best books that you can get to learn more about Brazil. So the next time you're in a bookstore, try flipping through the pages, I am sure you'll find something that sparks your interest! ( )
