Movie Reviews of Globe Trekker - Brazil

Movie Review: Rio and the Brazilian Northeast...A super video tour!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This Globe Trekker (formerly Lonely Planet) DVD covers traveler Ian Wright's travels to Rio de Janeiro and the NorthEastern part of Brazil. Ian is a amiable and entertaining narrator who always manages to provide good travel info with a dash of humour. The primary cities covered in the DVD are Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Recife, Fortaleza and Belem. Ian also detours off the tourist track into the interior of NorthEast Brazil but just for a bit. I love this DVD! It gives a very fine overview of the cities mentioned, though I wished they had spent more time on Recife and Fortaleza. Brazil is a wonderful place to visit with warm people and great food. This Globe Trekker presentation gives the viewer a small but delicious taste of what it would be like to travel to the NorthEastern part of the country and the marvelous city of Rio de Janeiro. Take it from one who has been to Brasil several times, any of the cities covered in this DVD would be worth visiting and viewing this video tour will only spark your desire to head to the land of Samba and Carnival!

Summary of Globe Trekker - Brazil

2 Episodes on 1 DVD! Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world and covers half of South America. The world's biggest jungle, The Amazon, fills nearly half of the country. Due to the colonial history, Brazilians speak Portuguese, and with more than 150 million people they form the largest Catholic nation on earth. Traveller Ian Wright visits the historic North East, from Salvador following the coast to the mouth of the mighty Amazon, the world's largest river. He then goes to Rio de Janeiro, a lively melting pot of Portuguese settlers and African slaves, the home of Samba, soccer, and carnival capital of the world. Along the way ¨ Attend a Candomble ceremony, one of the fastest growing and most popular cults in Brazil, brought over by African slaves ¨ Go down a mine in the colonial town of Lançois where diamond miners are still at work ¨ Follow a guide into the heart of the rainforest ¨ Visit Rio de Janeiro, its modern Museum of Contemporary Art, and the world famous temple to soccer, Maracana ¨ Join Rio Carnival's street parties and the Samba parades for the maddest night of your life!
