About Brazil. 1  Brazil lies in the northern realms of South America. Taking up over 8,500,000 square kilometres, Brazil is the 5th largest country in the world by geographical area. 2  90% of the country lies within the tropics, meaning that much of Brazil is hot, humid and home to two seasons: wet and dry. Much of the country is covered by the enormous Amazon Rainforest which only increases the humid, tropical conditions that are experienced in most of northern Brazil.
