Rio de Janerioa 

Rio de Janeiro is hands down the most popular city in Brazil leading many foreigners to falsely believe that this is the capital of the country. As the host of the world's most spectacular carnival, stunning beaches, as well as the infamous Christ the Redeemer statue, Rio de Janeiro is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in the world.

Salvador da Bahia

Once the capital of the New World, Salvador is a showcase of outstanding colonial architecture, delicious Bahian food, and colorful Afro-Brazilian culture. It is one of the prettiest, liveliest, and most exciting cities in Brazil, and a wonderful destination to combine music, beaches, and culture into a one-of-a-kind experience.

São Paulo

One of the most attractive areas in this concrete jungle is Vila Madalena, a vibrant mix of trendy cafés, quirky boutiques, art studios, pulsating nightlife, and bohemian flair. Equally inspiring are the sprawling Ibirapuera Park - filled with landmark modernist buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer, or the wonderful Museu de Arte de São Paulo, which is home to the best collection of Western art in the southern hemisphere. The nation's infectious party spirit is in full force across São Paulo's swanky nightclubs, live music botecos (local bars), and colorful street parties, and its shopping scene rivals anywhere else in the world.

Its consistently strong agricultural performance is one of the pivotal reasons why this country is so competitive in many export markets.

Business prospects in Brazil can vary quite a bit with the political situation. However, the Brazilian market still holds immense potential as the 8th largest economy in the world. 

Brazil's most active centers:

• Rio de Janeiro - Home to numerous corporate headquarters, many benefits due to the allowances as former capital.
• São Paulo - Booming industrial and agricultural haven, responsible for approximately 60% of the nation's industrial production.
• Belo Horizonte - Rapidly expanding business destination with rich mineral deposits, manufacturing facilities for steel, automobiles, textiles and agricultural distribution centers.
