Holiday traffic is a familiar sight all over the world. So it's no surprise that during the long Easter weekend, many Brazilians have left the confines of their cities to spend some time relaxing with their relatives around the country.

In São Paulo, it's estimated that 1.7 million cars, about one for every resident of Manhattan, are leaving the city. Similarly, airport officials have announced that 18% of all flights in the country had been delayed or cancelled.
