Massive, enigmatic, chaotic, sensual, intimidating, awe-inspiring: Brazil is a country that can be described in many ways, but rarely is it captured in full. As much a center for biodiversity—born from the rainforests of the Amazon—as it is for creativity, Brazil seized the imagination of the sophisticated traveler, but recently its urban hotspots Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo have stepped into the spotlight for their innovation in architecture and design, as well as the culinary and fine arts.
