	Few tourists venture far from Brazil's spectacular beaches however a trip inland reveals a different way of living altogether. Almost entirely covered with dense rainforest, Brazil's northern interior is split into the vast regions of Amazons, Pará, Acre and Rondônia. These immense federal states easily outstrip the land resources of many European countries and cover over 3,400,000 sq km (1,300,000 sq miles) of endless jungle, home to lush vegetation and countless species of life. Brazil's vast assortment of people and places offers something for everyone of any age or interest. Brazil can be divided into four major geographic regions. The long, narrow Atlantic seaboard has coastal ranges between the Rio Grande do Sul and Bahia, but is flatter north of Bahia. The large highlands called the Planalto Brasileiro, or central plateau, extend over most of inland Brazil. Most of the country has noticeable seasonal variations in rain, temperature and humidity, but only the south of Brazil has large seasonal changes. The Brazilian winter is from June to August, with the coldest southern states receiving average winter temperatures of between 13°C and 18°C (55°F and 64°F). In summer (December to February), Rio is hot and humid, with temperatures in the high 30°sC (80°sF). Temperatures usually hover around 25°C (77°F) for the rest of the year. The northeast coast becomes as hot as Rio in the summer but tropical breezes make it less humid. In general, the Planalto Brasiliero is cooler, and is prone to summer rainfalls. The Amazon Basin is the wettest part of Brazil, and while it is humid, temperatures average a reasonable 27°C (80°F).
