The Giant of South America
Brazil is the largest country in South America. It is so large that it occupies roughly half of the entire continents land area, and it borders almost every other South American nation - all of them except Chile and Ecuador.
Among the Worlds Biggest
Brazils size is striking on a global scale too. It is the fifth-largest country in the whole world by area, behind only Russia, Canada, China, and the United States. Its territory stretches across a huge range of landscapes, from the vast Amazon rainforest in the north to grasslands, highlands, and a long Atlantic coastline.
A Country Apart
Brazil also stands out culturally in South America. While most of the continent was colonised by Spain and speaks Spanish, Brazil was colonised by Portugal. As a result, Portuguese is its official language, making Brazil the largest Portuguese-speaking country in the world. Its population, the largest on the continent, is among the most diverse anywhere.
