Brazil is known for its gorgeous coastline, beaches, and people.
Songs like Barry Manilow's "Copacabana (At the Copa)" and Stan Getz's "The Girl From Ipanema" exist for a reason, and that reason is what cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo looked like in the '60s and '70s.
Here are 23 photos of Brazil and its beaches from the 1970s.
