Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ask many travellers what their favourite travel guides are, and a good percentage are likely to say the DK Eyewitness Travel series. And just a glance at Brazil will show you why these books are held in such high esteem. As the flash at the bottom of the jacket says, these are the guides that show you what others only tell you, and it is that strikingly eye-catching (and utilitarian) format that really makes the series special. Take, for instance, the two pages here on the Parque do Ibirapuera: there is a colour layout of the grounds of the park, with colour miniphotos studded around the central image; the Hotel Unique, with its strange half-melon structure, the Oca do Ibirapuera, an amazing dome designed by Oscar Niemeyer which hosts the city's major international art exhibitions, and the giant Cleopatra's needle built to honour victims of political injustice. And these are only a handful of the highlights of the two pages – which is typical of the entire book.

Of course, Brazil has much more to offer than most holiday destinations: apart from the beaches, nightlife and the national parks, there some of the best galleries and museums in the world along with, it goes without saying, carnival. And the world's most famous carnival is treated to all the attention here the traveller could wish (as is soundtrack of carnival – the indelible sound of samba). Particularly useful here are the walks, scenic routes and thematic tours. If you're planning a trip to Brazil, you need look no further than this. --Barry Forshaw. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

DK Eyewitness Brazil 23 May 2009
By M-E Raw
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I find that The Eyewitness Guides are usually excellent. This is no exception. It has to cover a vast country and most things that I have looked up and wanted to know about are covered. I usually take a rough guide with me as well but only intend to take this with me to Brazil. I found that The Eyewitness Costa Rica was sufficient. The only criticism I have is that I would have liked a little more on the wildlife. However, there are other books for this.

Unfortunately Lacking 18 Mar 2009
By Cherille Berman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I am a big fan of Eyewitness Travel and buy there books for every place I go to visit. Most people familiar with the brand are aware of its upsides, great pictures, maps and recommendations of where to go.

Although this is a country guide, the majority of people that will visit South America will visit Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. These places are unfortunately lacking the usual eyewitness travel detail and do not break each city down into sections as most of their other books do, including the one for Argentina (which does a great job for Buenos Aires)

I had 5 days to spend in Sao Paulo, and found the book gave me very few indications of where to go aside from a list of sights. I did not get a good feeling like i had seen the city properly, rather had a piecemeal perspective of a few things to do for the first day or two and not much else for the remainder. I am disappointed because I am a huge fan of eyewitness's other books, but this one disappointed.

I am aware that this is a country guide, however it should still give extra attention to the locations the majority of people will visit.

Review 8 Feb 2008
By Lucy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A beautiful, comprehensive overview of Brazil, but some maps are lacking in details. I always have liked "Eyewitness" for their wonderful maps ... however maps, especially for Rio de Janiero could be easier to use. This is a heavy book to carry traveling .... perhaps should have been published as two volumes?

Eyewitness is the BEST! 18 Dec 2007
By Shell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I just picked this up at our local Costco. It was $18 there - but you never know if it will be in stock or not so I'd stick with Amazon. We are going to Brazil in August and will definitely take this with us. We've used several of the Eyewitness books in the past for our European travels and they've never let us down and have always been better than the other travel books that we've picked up along the way. The graphics are perfect, we love the blown up street maps of the popular tourist destinations, and they are filled with tons of helpful tips! Definitely a win-win situation for all!
