Brazil is known for their out-of-this-world beaches, rainforests, and vibrant cities. This winter break, we will be spending a week in Brazil's second largest city, Rio De Janeiro. This program includes project-based learning with a local company so that you experience the business culture of the region. With visits to the Brazil - United States Chambers of Commerce, trekking Sugarloaf Mountain, taking in an iconic view from Corcovado Mountain, and exploring Brazilian capoeira, students will experience firsthand what it is like to do business cross-culturally. We look forward to seeing you this winter in Brazil!
