Brazil is the up and coming country for property investment and tourism.  This huge country (the 5^th largest in the world) has an astonishing range of landscape and scenery, from the Amazon rain forest, through the marshes and grasslands of the Pantanal, to the southern uplands - all of it bordered by nearly 5,000 miles of the best beaches in the world.

The country and its sights are wonderful and so are the people!  Brazilians are very cosmopolitan, and they all have one thing in common.  They are the most welcoming people in the world, valuing the visitor and keen always to help them have a good time and experience the best of Brazil.

Brazil is a very safe country – no earthquake or volcanic zones, no hurricanes, no terrorism and a complete absence of ethnic tension.

For the investor, Brazil's growth is phenomenal and experts predict that Brazil will soon be one of the world's economic leaders.  Its cost of living is as low as anywhere in the world and some areas of North Eastern Brazil have seen a 20%+ increase in property values in the last year.

Foreign investment is encouraged and overseas owners are allowed to own the freehold of both the land and property they buy.  Once you own the freehold, you keep it – the law is very strict.  Overseas visitors are welcome and have the same rights under the law as Brazilian citizens.

Tourism in Brazil is developing fast.  Cultural tours, adventure holidays and sports are available wherever visitors are to be found. The increase in tourism means that property rental is also growing, so investors can expect a good return.
