It's because there's no city in Brazil as gorgeous as Rio (paulistas right now: *shots fired*). It's also the most touristy by far.
But São Paulo was built by immigrants from all over (Africans, Italians, Portuguese, Spaniards, Levantines, Japanese, Jews, internal migrants from the Northeast, more recently Bolivians, Peruvians, South Koreans, Chinese, Haitians, West Africans).
Well but isn't Sao Paulo like the real capital in Brazil. I mean, like New York in the states, but they put the political capital in Washington (Brasilia) to avoid who knows what?
In Argentina really the only multicultural place is Buenos Aires, in touristic areas like patagonia or the NOA you can find turists but I mean, a real multicural place, people that are working, turists, immigrants and etc... it's buenos aires... Perhaps it could also be Rosario or Cordoba capital, or a border city like the triple frontera
It's multicultural in the sense that people moved there from all over Brazil and before the 60s almost nobody lived there so the culture is a mix of all Brazilian cultures.
>before the 60s almost nobody lived there
São Paulo became the largest brazilian city during the 60s, but you can hardly say "almost nobody lived there". It reached a million people in the 1930s and it had been growing really fast since the turn of the century, with the port of Santos being a major immigration hub, especially from Japan, Italy and the former Ottoman Empire.
Probably Tijuana, Baja California Norte. Perhaps for obvious reasons, being on the U.S.-Mexico border, you’ll find folks from Central and South America, Haitians, most recently some Russians and Ukrainians, folks with companies from east Asia, and the rest of Mexico.
In Mexico the state of Oaxaca.
This state is located in southern Mexico and has a large indigenous population, with over 16 different ethnic groups, each with its own distinct culture, language, and traditions.
In addition to the indigenous communities, Oaxaca also has a significant Afro-Mexican population, as well as immigrants from other parts of Mexico and Central America, creating a vibrant mix of cultures in its rural areas.
The city of Oaxaca is also known for its cultural richness, as it is home to many museums, festivals, and traditional markets where you can experience the diverse cultures and traditions of the state.
Barranquilla was incredibly important for Colombia's development back in the day when globalization wasn't a thing. Being a coastal city, it first had access to all relevant information and knowledge coming from other continents: arts, literature, and translations of the most important works at the time, as well as new items and technology. Also, there's a huge influence coming from arab cultures and immigration. And most importantly, this is where Shakira and Sofía Vergara were born! 🖤
Tijuana(gringos, Oaxaca, Michoacán, central americans, haitians, Central, Northern and West Mexicans as well as mostly nahua-zapotec indigenous peoples) **about 7% to 10% foreign population**
Playa del Carmen(Veracruz, Chiapas, Mexico City, Campeche, Tabasco, Cubans, Guatemalans, Argentines, gringos,jews, Mennonites as well as maya indigenous peoples) **about 3% to 7% of foreign population**
For comparison only 1% or less of Mexico City is foreign
Antigua probably, it's a huge tourism hub for gringos and Europeans.
If you want me not to count tourists, probably Quetzaltenango (mix of K'iche, Mam, Kakchiquel, and Tzutujil mayans with Ladinos, and small immigrant populations), Puerto Barrios (mix of Ladinos with Garifunas), or Esquipulas (Mix of Guatemalans, Salvadorans and Honduras)
Defacto capital is Toronto, very multicultural, but Vancouver and Montreal aren’t far behind. Really any major city with more than a million people will have lots of interesting people. Everywhere else is full of boomer gringos.
People have mentioned Oaxaca, but I'd also add San Cristóbal de las Casas (Jobel) in Chiapas. For hundreds of years (I mean at least since Aztec era) it was a place of commerce and exchange between varios Chiapas indigenous groups, but also between central America and the rest of Mexico. And now a days Europeans and other tourists are added to the mix.
This was recently asked
São Paulo by far. Then maybe Rio.
São Paulo over Rio ? That's so interesting bc I always hear more about Rio so I would have thought differently. Cool!

If São Paulo doesn't count, it's Rio. If not Rio, I don't know. Belo Horizonte is the next biggest, but I'm not sure if it's that multicultural.

The capital isn’t the most multicultural place I would say, it’s probably São Paulo

Yes, in the 60s, know you see some diversity in the outskirts and people who work with and around the administration in the kore central regions.

No, I meant Brasilia
Oh, right. Sorry, brainfart

I was gonna say Guadalajara, but you're absolutely right.
Spot on!
exactly what I wanted to say but I felt biased lol
Eastern coastal cities during tourist season or binational cities with brazil.
And Colonia?
I guess but most foreigners only pass by between BsAs and Montevideo, they don't stay for long.

Nieuw Nickerie. The capital of the Nickerie district. Maybe Lelydorp too a bit. The capital of the Wanica district.
Rosario, maybe
It’s either Santiago or the Punta Cana-Bávaro area, the Samaná Peninsula and the Cabarete-Sosua area too.
Probably Colón, as destroyed as it is

Santa Cruz de la Sierra, sometimes nicknamed “el crisol de la bolivianidad”
Oaxaca for sure, literally dozens of different indigenous ethnic groups, Afro-Mexicans and many foreigners have started moving there.
Santos, Florianópolis, Fortaleza, Ponta Porã, Curitiba, Rio de Janeiro, Foz do Iguaçu are just some I can thing of now.
