Waterfalls of Foz de Iguaçu - On the border of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay are the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. The Devil's Throat is the most famous part of the falls, as this is when the water falls down a 700-meter long gorge. On a trip through the nearby jungle, you will find more than a hundred different species of birds.

And the possible amount of theft, violence and crime in the big cities, especially in Rio de Janeiro.
