It's a massive land the size of continental USA covering
nearly half of South America, and with a population
of 150 million people, it's the largest Catholic nation
on earth. It's an urban mega-tropolis, a beach-tourist's

biggest jungle, has become a focus for explorers and
intrepid travellers throughout time.
