I used to work there with diamonds and some colored stones

Alluvial mining in Boa Vista and Piaui and extreme western Bahia and some in Mato Grosso

Spent a fair amount of time in Minas too

As well as Rio and Buzios for fun

São Paulo and Belo for business like equipment etc.....Guaymas and Santos

I spent combined broken up a few years there in the 80s

My ex wife was a Carioca model who did commercials and ran with Luisa Brunet and Maite Proenca......arty Globo folks

My daughters still have Brasilian passports but live near me in middle TN

I liked Brasil....of course the women and it was still Wild West more then in the boonies where I was

But I saw demographic and dependency issues which troubled me for the country which I loved actually

In a perfect world a ranch in Rio Grande do Sul or Santa Catarina but not too far from beaches would be cool

Or near Campos do Jordan for climate

Rio is hot hot hot

We kept a rental first at Lagoa then later up the Sao Conrado road above Barra

I have not been to Brasil since 90

But my girls have....they Facebook their cousins down there daily

My ex is in Pacific Northwest on esposo 4

My sogro(?) is in Angra dos Reis....still kicking at 85.....he was a tough guy

A dono do bicho and other endeavors.......very connected back in the junta days

Anyhow

Onde voce viva?
