Brazil is a highly diverse South American country known for its varied landscapes, culture, and population—ranging from the vibrant celebrations of Carnaval and the natural wonders of the Amazon and Iguaçu Falls, to bustling cities and relaxed beaches. Brazilian culture is a mix of European, African, Asian, and indigenous influences.

• National holidays include New Year's Day (January 1st), Carnaval (dates move, typically Feb/Mar), Good Friday (dates move, Mar/Apr), and Tiradentes (April 21st).
• In social settings, expect Brazilians to be conversational and tactile. Greetings often involve cheek-kissing (number varies by city) or handshakes; observe local customs. Punctuality is generally relaxed for social appointments, but business meetings and scheduled activities (like flights or plays) require adherence to strict timing. Brazilians are sensitive to public criticism of the government, and respectful behavior regarding race, religion, and political history is advised.
