Around the World: Brazil Letterbox Hybrid

This is an easy letterbox hybrid. There is a stamp and pad inside. It is not for trading. Please leave it inside the container.

Congrats to pod227 on being FTF!!

**UPDATE** It seems I neglected to change the posted coordinates (where the Letterbox Hybrid Icon is) and instead created an additional waypoint where the final is. My mistake. I thought about having the Volunteer Reviewer correct this, but seeing as how that would make this LBH sort of unique, I have elected not to do so. Instead, I have elected to add half a star to the terrain and keep it as is, as a warning for others when looking for one of my physical caches. :)

Still interested in finding it the hard way? Then the final is located at roughly 3640 feet away at a bearing of 242 degrees. But since this is a rough estimate and I'm not as good a navigator as I think I am, do yourself a favor and check out the waypoint labeled "Final".

Brazil is the largest country in South America, the largest Portuguese speaking nation and the fifth largest country in the world. It shares borders with all other South American countries except Chile and Ecuador. It is home to the Amazon River and the largest rain forest area on Planet Earth. Its largest city, Rio de Janeiro, was once the capital city of the Portuguse Empire, and it is one of two nations in the New World to have hosted both an Emperor and a King (Mexico is the other). It is also the only Western Hemisphere nation to have once been a kingdom upon gaining its independence.

Brazil declared its independence in 1822 and retained its monarchy, albeit under a single chamber parliamentary system. In 1889, after a coup d'etat, Brazil became a Presidential Republic similar to the United States of America with a two chamber National Congress made up of a Senate and a House o Representatives. Today, Brazil is the ninth largest economy in the world and a powerhouse in agricultural production; particularly coffee, where it has been the world's larges producer for the past 150 years. It is the only democratic nation in the Western Hemisphere that is energy independent. It is world famous for is "Carnavale" in the Spring and the city of Rio the Janeiro hosted both the World Cup of Soccer in 2014 and the Summer Olympic Games in 2016.
