Brochure Promoting Tourism to Matto Grosso, Brazil 1940s

Description

Brochure promoting travel to Matto Grosso, Brazil. Advertising text begins by admitting "the means of transportation of not entail so much comfort as those of more densely populated regions, but this lack of cushioned luxery is more than compensated for by thrilling and unforgettable views and the opportunity ... to see a little-known but fascinating part of Brazil" - the 9 days recommended for a trip to the city of Corumba includes several days-worth of travel time on various trains, planes, and boats to get from place to place. Perhaps because the text gives so little information about the places you'd be visiting, several illustrations from photographs give you a taste of what this little-known part of Brazil has to offer. The back gives a general timetable, listing each stop, the travel time and mode of transportation. Also includes a list with the estimated costs of transport, meals, etc. 9" x 4"
