Media Reviews
. ..the best guide to Brazil available. For such a large country the author does an excellent job Dr RH Webber, Scotland UK Excellent. I was a week in Rio and Sao Paulo. I used to live in Sao Paulo. I found the book great for both - especially for the nightlife, restaurants and live bands and the stuff beyond the obvious. Zou Zou Witty, insightful and accurate - the perfect companion! The Footprint guide to Brazil was our bible during our recent visit - an absolutely brilliant source of information... The book never let us down Worldismyoyster Quality stuff. Nice to have a guide that feels like its been written by a person for a change Yellowdog
