It's a third world country, but despite all the gang violence still has a good image. The compilation video on theync of drug gang violence is the same as in the very risky central and south american countries. Off the scales levels of sadistic torture, rape and beheadings.
But still many tourists see Brazil as the country of beaches, bossa nova, garotas, carnival, samba, football etc. Typical case of perception over reality.
OT: no idea why so many people dream of going bungee jumping. It's always on the cliche bucketlists. Seems very overrated imo
If you have money, it's a pretty good place to live, apparently. Many gringos end up moving to Brazil, we have one of the biggest homicide rates in the world, but they are mostly related to gang war, lol. Our whores are very cheap, you can get a decent fuck for 50 dollars or less.
