Brazil's Land of Sand
Season 3 Episode 305 | 26m 46s | CC

They provide a striking variety of landscapes, each with its own ecological characte and its own plants and animals. The sands are also home to the cashew tree, famous for fruit and nut, and one tree in particular has become a major tourist attraction.
