Spotlight: Brazil Catholicism, Carnival, and Colonial Character

Sharing borders with nine other countries, Brazil is the largest country in South America and the fifth-largest nation in the world. Indigenous peoples have populated the region for the past 40,000 years, and over 180 different languages are still spoken today. Notably, Brazil hosts the most uncontacted peoples of any country, with official government statistics estimating that over 100 distinct tribes currently live in isolated, seminomadic communities deep within Brazil's crown jewel: the Amazon jungle.

聚焦巴西──風情萬種的奔放民族

與其他九國共享邊界的巴西是南美第一大國，也是世界上第五大的國家。過去四萬年來，原住民一直居住在此區域，今日仍說著超過一百八十種不同的語言。特別的是，巴西擁有的原始部落居民比任何國家都多，政府官方統計數據估計，有一百多個不同的部落目前與世隔絕，以半游牧群體的形態深居在巴西的瑰寶──亞馬遜叢林之中。
