Native cultures


Brazil is the biggest country in South America and the only one in this continent whose official language is Portuguese. It is well known for including most of the Amazon rainforest and - according to rumours - quite a few lost civilizations overgrown by the jungle. British explorer Percy Fawcett and his son disappeared in he Brazilian jungle while trying to locate one of these cities in 1925.

Indiana Jones visited the lost city of Akator (a.k.a. El Dorado) in the Brazilian Amazon in 1957, after being previously located by Harold Oxley.
