I have a basic question when it came to brazil's geography, if the Amazon is just the northern states, what is the south like? not including the big cities
>>2861465like what the fuck? this is brazil? this looks almost like nebraska
>>2861465It's mostly mountainous forest until you get to the coast
>>2861465read fucking wikipedia you idiot
I just spent some time in and around Goiania visiting family. The city was horrible, Brasilia too, worse than any African shithole. The countryside was kind of cute, the historic towns felt like something out of a Garcia Marquez story. We visited a farm and I had fun picking mangoes and fishing in the river. But overall very shitty. >>2861466>a country literally the size of the United States has places that look like NebraskaYou know where McDonald’s beef comes from right?
>>2861465>>2861466There's no civilization outside of the coastline. If you go inwards its completely rural. There's no tourism towards those places on the left of Brazil and most of them are shitholes that remind you of a cowboy movie.
>>2861470>Brazil>mountainousBrazil is one of the flattest, most monotonous countries in the Americas. The only remarkable topography is found near the major coastal cities, and in the far north near the Venezuelan border, where a few measly mountain peaks extend into Brazil. >>2861465Most of the landscape is scrubby and degraded by agricultural exploitation. Like Texas, but in South America. It has none of the majesty of the wild African savanna.>>2861613>no civilizationThat's the problem with Brazil. They are a strong and secure and prosperous people, but they have no culture, tradition or moral values. Besides eating, drinking and fornicating, the bulk of Brazil doesn't have much to offer a traveler. And as a lone wanderer with no friends or family, you make the perfect target for criminal enterprise. Here in India, I can relax, bee myself and trust people as far as my instincts let me. They might try a petty scam, but I just say "no" and they eventually give in, because Indians are socially cooperative creatures at their core. They also have a strong tradition of treating guests very well. Brazil has none of that. Nobody feels under any obligation to avoid conflict or to treat a random norteamericano like an honored guest. Insolent words are commonplace, a group of guys saying something rude just because they are locals and this is their turf. What are you gonna do about it? Walk away bristling and seething while they laugh. Is this the travel experience you want to repeat every single day for the next three months? You can only relax when you throw the deadbolt on your room door at the end of the day. Such experiences made me very bitter and hateful toward the local inhabitants...not just the insolent youths themselves, but the passive cucked elders who let the younger generations run amok and corrupt themselves with degenerate influences. Add to that the fact that South America costs roughly twice as much as Asia. Visiting makes no sense.
>>2861683kek this describes my experience exactly.Actually my worst complaint is how they are all braindead consoomers who let instagram dictate how they live, but that doesn't make them unique in the world.
>>2861613Bikepacked the entire interior of Brasil from Acre to Rio and it sucked i dont even know why i do these kinds of things but i crossed paths with interesting and insane bikepackers so it was Nice, im on the costal line and it got better i can surf at least.
>>2861919>Bikepacked the entire interior of Brasil from Acre to Rio Nigger with the hardest R, Why and How the fuck did you do that? that's literally 2 weeks and 2700 miles of biking at very least
>>2861923To give everyone here an Idea of just how freaking huge that distance is, a comparable distance would be from PHEONIX Arizona to DC. On a bike no less. You're legs must've been screaming for a whole damn month after doing all that.
>>2861465The northeast is like they took a bit of the Sahara and plopped it down in South America.I wouldn't go there if I was you. It's the most impoverished area in Brazil, there's nothing to do or see there other than desolate landscapes and misery.
>>2861919Can't think of anything more boring to do, and I speak as a Brazilian. Acre is the state nobody cares about to the point we meme it doesn't even exist. You basically went through the most uninteresting, unpopulated parts of Brazil for no real reason. I won't deny you can find a cool canyon or cave here and there in the interior but it's really not worth the trouble.
Interior of Brazil is where you go to start a weird religious commune. There are schizo jew and christian cultists scattered here and there 3 or 4 generations deep who aren't on the Brazil government books.They pop up in the news sometimes when they develop a conflict with locals (IE: no we aren't going to allow you to slash and burn everything on our property. Or: no we don't care if you are native and pretending to be "nomadic", we settled this place so keep moving. Or in the case of jews: oy vey stop complaining you weren't using those children anyways)
>>2861971brazil is a crazy country, how does this even work, you can disappear into the amazon and as long as you know what you are doing and can stay alive, the govt can't find you?
what about the area around the pantanal, i hear there are lots of pure white people with farms and ranches and shit not unlike the european meadows
>>2861984General problem of big places with low pop density. The government doesn't have the resources or interest of dealing with irrelevant bullshit in the boonies. Even in the US some counties were basically the fiefdom of some inbreed clan for 100 years because the feds couldn't care less. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murdaugh_family
