Rum & Reggae's Brazil (Rum & Reggae series)

With a critical, witty, and cosmopolitan viewpoint, this guide to South America’s largest country covers not only the renowned Rio de Janeiro and its famous Carnaval, but also areas virtually unknown to the English-speaking world, including Salvador, Pipa, Buzios, Minas Gerais, and Paraty. Those who are timid about journeying through this island of Portuguese and little English will find will quickly find themselves trying to samba, listening to Marisa Monte, mixing a caipirinha, and saying tudo bem by the end of the first chapter.
