The Anhangabaú valley in São Paulo city (Anhangabaú is a native american word whose meaning is related to bad spirits; if there is something interesting about São Paulo to me, it is how many places still are named in the native american languages):

Ouro Preto (Minas Gerais), once the most populous city in Brazil and in Latin America (XVIII century):


A região de Ouro Preto foi a principal área de extração de ouro nos séculos XVIII e XIX. Foram enviadas a Portugal, oficialmente, oitocentas toneladas de ouro no século XVIII, sem contar o que circulou de forma ilegal, bem como o que ficou na colônia ornando as suntuosas igrejas.

Ouro Preto e Mariana passaram por um rápido processo de urbanização, com Vila Rica (atual Ouro Preto) sendo a cidade mais populosa da América Latina, com cerca de 40 mil pessoas em 1730 e, algumas décadas após, chegando a abrigar 80 mil pessoas. Nesta época, Nova York possuía menos da metade desse número de habitantes e a vila de São Paulo não tinha mais que oito mil habitantes.

Thanks curupira for reviving it!

Honestly, I never liked Brasilia's general architecture with all due respect. It always struck me as too modernist and disconnected with too many large spaces. Maybe being there personally may give a different feel. Sao Paulo and Rio are much more picturesque.

Goiânia, in Central West Brazil, it has the largest green area per inhabitant in Brazil, and the second-most in the world:


Goiânia (/ɡɔɪˈɑːniə/;[1] Portuguese pronunciation: [ɡojˈjɐ̃ɲɐ]) is the capital and largest city of the Brazilian state of Goiás. With a population of 1,301,892,[2] it is the second-largest city in the Central-Western Region and the 13th-largest in the country.

Goiânia has the largest green area per inhabitant in Brazil, and the second-most in the world, after Edmonton, Canada.

Panoramic view of Barra da Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro:


Barra da Tijuca (Brazilian Portuguese: [ˈbaʀɐ dɐ tiˈʒukɐ]) (mostly referenced as Barra) is a famous neighborhood or bairro in the West Zone of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, located in the western portion of the city on the Atlantic Ocean. Barra is well known for its beaches, its many lakes and rivers, and its lifestyle. Although representing only 4.7% of the city population and 13% of the total area of Rio de Janeiro, Barra is responsible for 30% of all tax collected in the city. Barra da Tijuca is classified as one of the most developed places in Brazil, with one of the highest HDI (0.970) in the country, as measured in the 2010 Brazil Census. Differently from the South Zone and Rio's Downtown, Barra da Tijuca, built only 30 years ago, follows the Modernist standards, with large boulevards creating the major transit axis. A mix of modernity, sustainability and nature create the newest side of the city of Rio de Janeiro. The area's masterplan was designed by Lúcio Costa, known for his work on Brasília, and creates a region filled with many gardens, shopping malls, apartment buildings and large mansions. In recent years, due to the development of the Brazilian economy, Barra has received more than 100,000 new residents and many companies' headquarters looking for a more modern address.

Those born in Barra da Tijuca, or those who live there, are called Barristas, Barrenses or, pejoratively, Barraíbas. The neighborhood of Barra da Tijuca is a cultural, economic, and administrative hub of the city, and is believed to be the safest of Rio's upper-class neighborhoods due to its plentiful private and public security. Barra da Tijuca neighborhood is well known for being the home of celebrities and soccer stars.

Barra, as it is popularly known, will host most of the venues of the 2016 Summer Olympics, which will be the first held in South America.

Demographic data indicates that the region is the fastest growing county in Rio: 98,851 in 1991, 174,353 in 2000, and 300,823 in 2010.
