th new Brazil is something to
sen to be believed. Which ta

81*htly larger than the contin
IJ.S., has three states lat.
than Texas, six bigger than C

lo4ical pattern is followed, wh
mans using Manaus or Belem
mitthern gateways, Rio and S
Paulo as southern anchors...or
arriving from the west or sou
as entry points.
Rio's natural vocation is that
a major port, around which
window of sweeping beauty, c
• tute. sophistication and true n
tiohal feeling looks out over t
Atlantic Ocean framed by t
splendor of the Bay of Guan
bara. The first Portuguese
madas arrived here on Jan.
1502. Today there is a continuo
coining and going of major shi
ments of minerals, coffee, man
factured goods and tourists fro
both home and overseas. T
State of Guanabara in which' Ft
de Janeiro is located has pass
the 5 million, mark in populatio
and another 3 million live in th
metropolitan area known a
Greater Rio. Ri? has both a n
ti4nal and an international cal

COnival, to which, thousands. o

With a population Of 8 million,
Slo Paulo is today the fastest
grpwing,city in the world. About 8
est, Paulo, with its 37 municipalities
and spread out along radius of 100
en- Kms - around the capital. Sao
po- Paulo is the heart of the Brazilian
ped, economy. It forms the largest in -
be dustrial complex, a conglomera-
kes tion of over 100,000 firms employ -
is ing a labor force sof 1.5 million
en- workers and accounting for al -
ger most half of Brazil's incoxne from
ali- industry. Not only is Sao Paulo
uth Brazil's largest city it is also the
as fastest growing city in the world.
Every day in this ever -upward
rist thrusting megalopolis, a thou-
nd sand children are born, 500 motor
f a vehicles join the traffic flow, a
ich hundred new houses and two
as apartment blocks are built, five
Sao kilometers of highways are
, if paved, 500 mercury lamps are in-
th, stalled and 6 million people cir-
culate.
of Brasilia
a A totalry, planned city, Brasilia
ul- is regarded today as the most
a- modern ,city in the world. To
he totally comprehend the planning,
he engineering and imagination 'of
a- Brasilia, you really have to visit
Ar- there to appreciate it. Brazilian
1, architecture today is known and
us respected the world over and its
p- style is modern, functional and
u- daring. No place is this more evi-
m dent than in Brasilia, with its
he rows of government buildings
lo and its futuristic highway net -
ed work, modern housing and shop-
ping facilities. No visit to Brazil
e is complete without spending
s some of your time in Brasilia.
a- Five thousand miles of tropical
1- sea make up the varied and en-
u- chanting Brazilian coastline.
1 Offering an endless variety of cli-
o mates, beaches and delights for
n the tourist, it has a little Of every-
- thing, from rustic simplicity typi-
e cal of South Sea Shores; as
- evoked in pirate tales, to the
- ultrasophisticated atmosphere of ,
e the beaches �f the States of Sao
Paulo and Rio de Janeiro . . . not
to mention those of Guanabara! c
Room Fishing . a
- And up in the Northeast, on c
Tambau beach, a highly original a
circular hotel has just been
opened, which reaches out into
the sea like a promontory . . w
§tmts them citil otcMallarso fish- t
.ing without Teaving 'Olen- hotel
rooms. At first sight • of the e
beaches of. Itapoa or Mnaralina
per cent of the entire population
of Brazil is concentrated in the
greater metropolitan area of Sao
in Bahia, you might thick you
were in Tahiti. Further up in
Olinda the palm trees, setting sun
and the lagoon are a daily poem
composed by nature, while down
south the atmosphere changes
abruptly; along the Guanabara
coastline the girls from Ipanema,
immortalized in verse and music
the world over, flock to the beach
of that name. In the neighboring
State of Rio de Janeiro the land-
scape urges you to rest, dream
and maybe write poetry; and if
it's water sports and deep-sea
fishing you're after, then head for
the golden beaches which can be
found almost everywhere.
They say that when Mrs.
Roosevelt first saw the "Sete
Quedes" Falls she exclaimed,
"Poor Niagara!" This is the spot
where a colossal hydroelectric
power plant is to be built, with an
eventual capacity of 15 million
kw. This gives some idea of the
grandeur of the spectacle offered
to the tourist. The whole 'region
forms part of the Paeana River
hydrographic basin. Local rock
formations led to the great differ-
ences in level along which rivers
eventually came to form gigantic
waterfalls. Nearby can be found
veritable cities of rock, shaped by
sculpture like those at Vila Velha.
They resemble anythink from a
sleeping giant, a 'beautiful wo-
man or a,huge finger to a drink-
ing goblet. This area lies between
Curitiba and Ponta Grossa, two
leading cities in the State of Par-
ana that are today linked by the
Coffee 'Highway, which runs
through one of Brazil'smost fer-
tile regions noted also for the sur-
prising variety of landscapes.
The -tourist potential of Brazil
an be found in the cultural and
rtistic heritage of its past . .
arefully preserved in such cities
s Ouro 'Preto, in the State of
Minas Gerais and Salvador, capi-
tal of the State of Bahia. . . as
ell as on its beadles and moun-
aiiisides„. a opular religious
in the work ofthe north -
astern handicraft masters and
n the °multicolored grottoes of
inas Gerais. And the insistent
beat of the carnival samba bandS
is matched only by the steady
rhythni of a dynamicand fun -lov-
ing people steadily growing, pro-
gressing and developing. Many of
the religious festivals show evi-
dence of the ethnic and cultural
blending that has gone to form
the 'Brazilian character. . . a
inodel of racial equality.
, ,On The Minte
The continent of South America
is.on the move . . .and no more is
this exemplified than in Brazil—
SouthAmerica's most modern
and progressive country. From a
touristic viewpoint the time has
arrived for a great influx of tour-
ism from ,North America to this
great, great continent south of us.
If you're the type who has al-
ready travelled extensively
abroad and want to visit an area -
that is completely different from
those you've already visited, con-
