Brazil

“… Self-confessed travel addict Michael Palin explores this vast and disparate nation, travelling by riverboat, on foot, and by floatplane deep into the Amazon, experiencing the modernity of Brasilia and the noise, dancing, and wall-to-wall urban art of Rio de Janeiro.
He visits the shanty towns and the beaches of Copacabana, travels down the North-East coast, with the African roots of its inhabitants creating a fascinating and lively culture; and, moving south, tastes German beer served from a motorcycle sidecar before ending his journey at the spectacular Iguaçu Falls.”
