I was a bit surprised to see the US as the number 2 source of tourists for Brazil, given that Americans have to have a visa (reciprocal with Brazilians visiting the US). They must all be going to Rio and Bahia, because I didn't see any in Minas or Sampa. In Rio, I mostly ran into Germans, Danes and Australians. I was not surprised to see Argentina and Uruguay as significant contributors to tourism or that other LA countries were lower.
Brazil has more connections with Argentina and Uruguay because its borders with these countries are in more populated and accessible areas. The other borders with the other SA countries are lesser populated and more remote. What did surprise me was Chile coming in at 5th place, despite not sharing a border with Brazil. People who have a vibrant economy can more readily afford to travel. This may also explain why Portugal is below France in tourists to Brazil.

It could be that, but there's also demographics: for every Portuguese there's six of the French. And there are a few low-cost destinations in Brazil to us: Salvador, Porto Seguro. There are very low-cost packages to a place called Porto de Galinhas. Edited by Luso on 12 May 2014 at 11:17pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Luso, true, I forgot that France has about 7 times the population of Portugal! So, per capita, Portugal definitely surpasses it.
Expugnator, I loved Diamantina and Belo Horizonte. I just wish I could have spent more time there, more than just the puny 4 days (not enough!) I allotted for it, na próxima vez, tomara que sim. Brazil is such a big country. It is HUGE!!! I'll have to make several trips to see all that I want to see, over several years to come. The Northeast awaits, so does the South, Brasilia, Manaus, the Pantanal. So much Brazil, so little time. Coitado de mim. :) Even in Portugal, as small as it is, I've only been to the Algarve and Lisbon. I'd love to see a lot more of Portugal, as ilhas açorianas e Madeira também. Not to mention Cabo Verde, São Tomé e Principe and Moçambique- don't know if I can afford Angola :). There's a lot of Lusofonia to see and experience. Graças ao idioma português, posso! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Então da próxima vez temos que nos encontrar! O que você fez em Belo Horizonte e o que achou da cidade?

Obrigado, Expugnator, seria ótimo. Gostei muito de Belo Horizonte mas passei somente um dia e meio ai. Queria descansar um pouco antes de ir a Diamantinha. A pesar de ser uma cidade muito grande, com metrô e arranhas céu, achei-la mais tranquila e menos frenética do que o Rio e Sampa. Então, fui no ônibus até Diamantinha. Fiquei muito impressionado por tudo em Minas, as paisagens e os mineiros também. Os mineiros me pareciam ser bem amigáveis. Realmente gostei da arquitetura colonial.
No fim das contas, acho que não fiquei suficiente tempo em Minas e foi um crime passar tão pouco tempo num estado tão lindo. Quero voltar algum dia, sim, se Deus quiser. Claro, moro numa ilha tropical no Caribe. Temos muita praia, sabe? Por isso, não me interessa tanto a praia. Sou um pouco diferente do que os outros turistas norte americanos a este respeito. Pra mim gosto mais da cultura e o povo. Quero voltar! 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A propósito, você escreveu sua resposta em muito bom português, iguanamon. Parabéns! Também não tenho essa fixação por praia que tantos turistas têm, acho que convém alternar, passar uns férias na praia e em outras fazer programas mais culturais =D
Só fiz estas correções abaixo mesmo porque seu nível já é alto e você poderá aprender ainda mais, mas está muito bom. Se tiver dúvidas, é só perguntar.

Obrigado pelo elogio e pelas correções também, expugnator. Sim, tenho mais que aprender. Por isso, estou lendo mais em português- agora, HQ's de "The Walking Dead" (os zumbis somente falam "hrrrrngh", rs, rs) e um HQ nacional: "Dom João Carioca"- sobre o primeiro imperador no Brasil. Posso ler qualquer coisa em português agora, sem problema, salvo que Jorge Amado. Gosto dele, mas tenho dificuldade com o vocabulário nordestino, apesar de ter assistido todos os episódios da novela "Gabriela".
A propósito, Caetano Veloso vai cantar em Miami este setembro. Estou pensando em ir. O show se chama o Abraçaço. Gosto muito da música dele. Caetano é lendário. Pode ser minha única chance para vê-lo cantar ao vivo. 1 person has voted this message useful |
