Scenes in the vast rubber country of the Ama-
zonas and the great rubber port of the Amazon Delta-
Para. Visits to the color-tinted, red-roofed cities of
the Brazilian coast—Pernambuco, the Brazilian Ven-
ice; Bahia during Carnival; Santos, the world’s
greatest coffee port, and Sao Paulo with its classic
museum on the site where Brazilian independence
was declared.
We see that culmination of Brazilian civiliza-
tion—Rio de Janeiro, the most beautiful city in the
world. By automobile, we tour that wonderland of
mountain and valley behind Rio over the unequaled
Tijuca Drive. Ascent is made by rack road to the
Corcovado (Hunchback), and we look down from
that peak, perhaps through clouds, upon the city
far below. Hidden in those cool high valleys amidst
a paradise of unsurpassed verdure, nestles the charm-
ing, historic hamlet of Petropolis, the Mecca of
wealthy Janeirans and the diplomatic corps.
Thirty-four degrees south, we enter the harbor of
Montevideo with its modern stone quays. The muni-
cipal buildings, famous zoo, the delightful sea resort
of Playa Ramirez, with its sea baths and superbly
appointed hotel, are taken in, and glimpses are had
of the pastoral life of this “Purple Land.”
