Thank you!  Are you from Brazil?  I've visited Minas Gerais and have family living in Campinas.

Yes! :grin: That's so cool! Where in Minas Gerais have you been? I've never really visited the state myself, only drove across on my way to Rio Grande do Sul, where I live now. :smilenod:.  Most of my family is from São Paulo, near Campinas.

I have visited Campinas, and I have lots of family roots in Varginha.  I also had the opportunity to visit Paraty on the coast in the state of Rio.  That is a beautiful area.  Unfortunately, I did not get to visit Rio like I had wanted...maybe next time around!

Rio is a gorgeous city, even with its many social problems. :tellmemore: I visited Paraty when I was a teenager, way back in the day, and it really is an interesting place...very scenic. If it's beaches you like, I would recommend those lining the northeastern coast of Brazil as they're generally warmer and not as crowded.

The beaches near Paraty were decent.  My mom grew up in Rio, close to Copacabana, so she speaks of it often.  I'd like to visit it mainly for the nostalgia.  But, I would also like to visit Northern Brazil's coastline as well, and I know a few people from Fortaleza area.
