    Iguaçu Falls, in the borderline with Argentina and Paraguay- it's certainly one of the most breathtaking landscapes in the whole world; the Avenida Paulista and museum Masp- an avenue which bases the financial center of São Paulo and where are located the Brazilian most famous companies and the most famous museum; the Cristo Redentor, in Rio- a statue upon a mountain from where you can have the most beautiful view in the world: the city with so many beaches with a lot of buildings and forests in the background; historical city of Ouro Preto- it's the first step to get known to the Brazilian history by walking on the slopes of colonial architecture and from where you can visit a lot of other historical cities and the capital city of Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte, a metropolis located among mountains; The Congresso Nacional e Esplanada dos Ministérios- some of the masterpieces of the architectural whole of the country's capital city- Brasilia; Pelourinho, in Salvador, a historical ghetto, in which a lot of afro-cultural events occur, like "Olodum" (Michael Jackson used images from it in one of his videos) and the surrounding beaches and festivals as for the moment (the are many at any time you visit Salvador); and I'd say for last, Amazonas Theatre, in Manaus- the amazonian metropolis: a very luxuous theatre built by the money earned during the rubber boom, in the 19th century. Manaus itself is a landmark for getting to know the Amazon Forest and its enchantments: river beaches, wildlife, indian culture and so on.
