What you will see
Rounds in 9 countries, Brazil the largest by far. The landscape changes a lot with latitude and altitude: the Andes, the pampas, rainforest edges and the Patagonian steppe.
Clues for this continent
- Portuguese sets Brazil apart: "Rua" and "Avenida" on street signs rather than the Spanish "Calle".
- Everyone here drives on the right. Only Guyana and Suriname, on the north coast, drive on the left.
- South of the tropics the midday sun stands in the north. If the sun is high in the north, you are in the southern part of the continent.
