Offbeat setting for the World Cup draw

The draw tomorrow for the 2014 World Cup will be held in a 100,000-square-foot tent within a resort complex within a wildlife preserve within a national park.

To the north, west and south, there is nothing but coconut trees and forest, with no permanent residents -- except for indigenous wildlife -- in a 30-mile radius.

To the east are distinctive white sand beaches and the Atlantic Ocean.

The closest city is Salvador, some 50 miles away.
