A Gringo's Holiday: 1: Brazil

on BBC Two England

Journey through Brazil, Argentina, and Chile with Johnny Morris

'Rio is not so much a city as a landscape with buildings and white surf and beaches ....A boisterous, vigorous society where the individual is still very much on his own..."
To the Latin-Americans all Europeans are 'gringos' and, like most tourists in Rio de Janeiro, Johnny Morris visits Copacabana Beach, Sugar Loaf Mountain, and a favella, one of the mountain-side squatter villages in the centre of the city. He also discovers a pavement artist with a difference and a park full of cats.
