I vote for:

Rio (2005)
Iguazu (2005)

I was actually there in August 2005 wife my family. My wife has heard me talk about it so many times that she wants to go now. Trying to arrange and plan a trip there again with my parents since it isn't so easy to get around without speaking Portuguese. My father grew up in Rio so Portuguese isn't an issue if he comes with us.

I went and got around Brazil fine without speaking any Portuguese.

Definitely possible to get around but much easier with Portuguese. From what I remember most people didn't speak any English.

Also the shul in Copacabana wouldn't let us in without verifying who we were and who we knew.
