A large proportion of Brazil’s huge population should have good reason to be unhappy about their lot in life. Yet, the long-lasting impression one has of this magical country is of carefree, colourful people dancing and celebrating in the street parades at Carnaval.

Tourists descending on the country’s fabulous cities, such as hedonistic Rio de Janiero, can enjoy the five-star hotels, shopping malls, beautiful beaches, sunny skies and inspirational restaurants without really having to confront the hundreds of shanty towns (favelas) where the poorest of the poor eke out a living in the shadows of the skyscrapers.
