I will move to Brazil for a year in an exchange program. I'm thinking about the northern part, I'm interested in the rainforest, but I'm worried about malaria and crime. What do you suggest?

I think you're pretty damn moronic. Why not go to the southern states or SP countryside, or maybe the southern half of MG? Mostly white people, much better infrastructure and subtropical/temperate weather.
The North is green Mad Max.
Where was that picture took?
Gramado, I think it's just a German larp town, but Brazilians would know better
It would've been fine if it was just a german larp town because it's indeed full of germans. The problem is that the city is full of themed attractions and parks. It's bizarre.
>I'm thinking about the northern part
Nah. Don't. There's a reason why the rainforest still stands. It's green hell. +30ºC day and night and extremely humid. The cities there are an assault to the senses and you WILL spend the majority of your time in a city. There's a reason why only subhumans tolerate that for their entire lives. you won't last one year.
go to a civilized area and book an excursion to Pantanal and the Amazon Region once you're settled (just don't go there between january and april because it rains all day every day).
I'm about to go to Belem next week, for a week, any tips or things to see? I've been around the south of Brazil, but just up to Rio so far
the docks, refubished as restaurants and shops; the market (Ver-o-Peso)
the amazonian zoo and botanical gardens (Mangal das Garças)
eat açaí, river fish and crustaceans, drink cachaça infused with Acmella oleracea (Jambu, in common parlance)
The rest is up to you. I don't know what you like. What are you going to do there anyway?
>What are you going to do there anyway?
Mostly the stuff on your list and maybe go to an island or something around there, I just wanted to see a city by the Amazon and heard it was a bit nicer than Manaus. Where's a good area to stay in the city?
yeah, these are the must see things. other than that is all pretty much meh
stay at a well-rated hotel around city center.
in any case, the fun in the rainforest is not to be had in the cities, which are terrible. there are cruises and aerial expeditions with hydroplanes and resorts by the river.
a friend of mine went to an island to take ayahuasca with the indios near Belém. he enjoyed it, despite the (in my opinion) unnecessarily unpleasant parts of the rituals.
And then which parts of Brazil do you recommend? Saõ Paulos region? Which other parts have you been to?
white exchange students who have done even a little bit of research go to either Rio (PUC-Rio or FGV, avoid public universities there) or Florianopolis (UFSC).
>Brazil
Good bye OP. You will be remembered
Hi, thinking about it, I will probably go to são paulo, but thanks for all the replys! 🙂
Update
I couldnt go to são paulo, so i will go to minas gerias
I would advise you to stay in the southern/south and go to the north for visiting instead. More things are happening down here culturally and if you dont like that sort of stuff you can always just go to some bumfrick nowhere place on Minas Gerais where like 70 people live max.
Also i heard that the weather over there sucks fricking ass.
Good luck
I think I'll be fine there. Actually, I only had two choises, as it turned out: Minas Gerais or Mato Grosso do Sul. I think MG was an obvious choice here.
Which Minas region? Southern Minas Gerais is the best region. Triângulo Mineiro is also good. Avoid Metropolitan Belo Horizonte, Northern Minas and Vale do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri.
I don't know yet, it could be anywhere exept that narrow part in the west of it.
If you stay in this region you'll have a comfy stay.
Belo Horizonte isn't bad, just not real exciting, the girls were pretty and friendly and it's less chaotic than Rio
There's also the Atlantic "rainforest" in the south, but it's not hot and tropical, more of a temperate cloud forest, not sure what's out there, but it looked cool from the bus
if you want to see the Jaguar, which is the species to see the. Pantanal is the best place in the world.
i know theres a bunch but whats one of those towns in the south where everyone is ethnic german
I have heard Southern Brazil is the safest and most whitest part.
>rainforest
Southern Brazil is better because Pantanal is the best place in the world to see Jaguars.
>I'm thinking about the northern part,
Go to Recife
Why would you go to northern brazil if you're worried about those two things?
Do you have to worry about water quality in Brazil the same way you do in Mexico?
Yeah. It varies from place to place, but I wouldn't drink unfiltered tap water in places like rio or sao paulo.
