Measure Brazil's 12 places side to side and you get 3,150 km, Jaú National Park to Recife. Three places share a 120 km patch in the south: Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana and Sugarloaf Mountain. The stray is Jaú National Park: 2,100 km to Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park and further to everything else.
Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro and Copacabana are gentle. Pelourinho, Salvador and Lençóis Maranhenses are not. The rest are medium. Paraty is a colonial port of whitewashed houses and cobbled streets that flood at high tide.
