Brazil

Brazil is located in South America, and is the fifth largest country of the world. Brazil borders all the countries in South America except Chile and Ecuador. It is bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Its tropical climate and vast natural resources combine to make Brazil’s agricultural industry very strong. Another benefit of Brazil’s location and tropical climate is its strong tourism industry, which also includes ecotourism.
