Vibrant, sexy and culturally well-endowed, Brazil has become one of the most drooled over destinations in the past few years thanks to hit arthouse films, sultry supermodels and trendy flip-flops. Travellers can now stock up on information with the opening of a Brazilian tourist office in London. Information on flights and hotels, plus maps and guides, will be available, and the office will also host exhibitions about different regions of the country.
