Christ the Redeemer
High above the city of Rio de Janeiro, Timmy saw a huge statue stretching its arms over the mountains.
​
"That's Christ the Redeemer," said Mira the Macaw. "He watches over all of Brazil!"
​
From the top, Timmy could see the entire city, beaches forests and tiny boats sailing far below. He felt like he was floating on top of the world.
Fun Fact: Christ the Redeemer is 98 feet tall and stands on Mount Corcovado.
The Amazon River
Timmy floated down the mighty Amazon River with his friend Tico. The water stretched so far, it looked like it touched the sky! All around, the jungle buzzed with life — monkeys swinging, frogs singing, and birds flashing bright colors. As the sun set, the river turned golden and calm.
‘This river is the heart of Brazil,’ said Tico. ‘It keeps the whole rainforest alive!’
Fun Fact: The Amazon River is the largest river in the world — and home to pink dolphins, piranhas, and over 2,000 kinds of fish!
The Amazon Jungle
In the Amazon Rainforest, everything felt alive — the trees whispered, the rivers shimmered, and frogs sang in every color of green.
​
Tico the Turtle guided Timmy down the wide Amazon River, where they met animals that could swing, swim, and soar.
‘It’s the heart of the world,’ said Tico, ‘and every heartbeat matters.’
Fun Fact: The Amazon Rainforest is home to one out of every ten species on Earth — that’s millions of plants and animals all living together!
Copacabana Beach
Timmy’s paws left tiny prints on the warm white sand of Copacabana Beach. Music drifted through the air as people danced, laughed, and played by the ocean.
Lula the Monkey showed Timmy how to make sandcastles shaped like little mountains, and Bara just smiled as the waves gently touched her toes.
‘In Brazil,’ said Lula, ‘every day is a celebration!
Fun Fact: Copacabana Beach is over 2 miles long — that’s a lot of room for sandcastles and samba dancing!
Iguazu Falls
When Timmy reached Iguazu Falls, he could hear the thunder of the water long before he saw it!
Dozens of waterfalls poured over the cliffs, making clouds of mist that shimmered with rainbows.
Jago told Timmy, ‘This is where the earth sings loudest.’
Together they stood still, letting the mist cool their fur.
Fun Fact: Iguazu Falls has more than 270 waterfalls — it’s even wider than Niagara Falls!
Pelourinho District
In the city of Salvador, every street is filled with music and color!
​
Timmy danced through Pelourinho, where drums echoed and buildings shone in blue, pink, and yellow.
Mira taught him a few samba steps, and soon Timmy was twirling with new friends right in the middle of the plaza!
Fun Fact: Salvador is one of Brazil’s oldest cities and is known as the birthplace of samba music!
The Pantanal Wetlands
In the Pantanal, Timmy found a peaceful world of rivers, water lilies, and endless skies.
​
Oro the Tree Frog sang as Bara floated beside the boat, her back covered in tiny birds.
‘This place,’ said Bara softly, ‘is where everyone shares the water — big or small.’ Timmy smiled. ‘Then it’s the friendliest place in Brazil!’
Fun Fact: The Pantanal is the largest wetland in the world and one of the best places to see wildlife — from jaguars to giant otters!
