2. The Amazon River basin and the impenetrable forests, widespread beaches and bays on the coast, attractive islands, and the innumerable species of flora and fauna make Brazil an attractive tourist destination.
3. Many places are tagged by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites. Besides the capital city of Brasilia, cities like Rio-de-Janeiro and Sao Paulo also attract vast tourist traffic.
4. Because of the abundance of natural resources in the country, ecotourism is also being promoted with the participation of local people.
