Study
Abroad Program Brazil
Brazil
is a land in which the past collides with the future. Cows lumber across
multilane highways, battery-powered TVs blare in the jungle, and some
of the world's most sophisticated music emanates from the sorriest ghettoes.
In Brazil's modern metropolises, skyscrapers surge toward heaven, while
only blocks away lie beaches of such astonishing beauty they can only
be called paradise. Hot spices, hot rhythms, hot climes combine to produce
a multicultural mélange of elements as diverse as animist cults, and
Carnival.
Some observers have characterized Brazil as an adolescent struggling
to find itself in the face of an enormous but chaotic inheritance. Long
called a sleeping giant.
Brazil today is a country where you can travel between centuries in
a matter of hours. Students can experience the Amazon rain forest, whose
indigenous people live as they did 5,000 years ago; 18th-century historical
villages where you'll find horses hitched to posts; 19th-century
fazendas (ranches), with cowhands still riding the range; fashionable
20th-century cities such as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, where international
trends set the style; and Brasília, whose avant-garde sculptured buildings
proudly face toward the 21st century. Some tiny villages, such as São
Tomé das Letras in Minas Gerais, that seem otherworldly—it's not for
nothing that Brazil has a reputation for some of the most famous UFO
sightings in the world.
