As local guides like Cassio and Luiz will attest, Brazil has some winning beaches, impressive street art (or “talking walls” according to German transplant, Emel), and jungles to explore (tip: for a unique trip into the depths of the 9000-acre park of Januari, where you can find water lilies as wide as 7 feet, saddle up to Marco on his tour, Grand Amazon Day), but what it lacks is the one and only Purin, the soccer-playing dog.
World Cup fans, fear not, Brazil is the place to be this summer (and while you’re there, why not try out a guided trip of the country with a talented local guide, wink wink), but Mr. Purin has, for now, won our hearts over.
