How many other places have been guilty of such centric thinking?

Lots of suggestions here if we do a grand Latin America tour which could be a possibility.

I didn’t see it at the time but now I get the comparison with Rome. Wonderfully atmospheric.

It is beautifully well preserved and well worth a stay of 4 or 5 days.

Personally, I believe that it’s totally wrong to wipe away a whole age. It would be wrong to ignore the glorious colonial architecture dotted through Central and South America. Your excellent pictures show what a rich legacy it left.

I had no idea that Brazil had a Costa Verde.
