In the Americas with David Yetman
Brazil's Land of Sand
Season 3
Episode 305
Long stretches of Brazil’s northeast coast are lined with sand dunes, some of them so vast that they create their own climate. 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.
