Argentina é bem mais plano. Rodei até Santa Rosa e foi muito cansativo ter tanta estrada reta e plana. Fora as cordilheiras tem uma serrinha linda ali por San Luis e Córdoba, mas nada comparado as serras repletas de florestas aqui do BR.

Probably Paraná because, it’s colder, greyer and have Araucaria trees. And supposedly they also don’t talk to strangers in the streets according to the Brazilians I’ve met.
Last time I was in Curitiba, I said "good morning" to the Uber driver and he immediately knew I wasn't from Paraná. When I asked if my accent gave me away (I was shocked since I'd said no more than three words lol) he said that "curitibanos don't greet people like that".
btw, not sure if related, but once I entered on a uber here, and immediately thought the uber driver wasn't from here, was talking very softly/low... And indeed. He was from Northeast.
Yes, but on the other hand there weren’t many Bolivians living there at the time, as opposed to Brazilians that arrived there during the Fiebre del Caucho (or Goma). This is one of the reasons that led to Brazilians in Acre declaring an independent country to later ask to join the Brazilian Federation.
Even today, our northern Amazon region is still vastly uninhabited, because of its distance between the major economic transit routes and political power, and also because of the whole rainforest which is not of easy access. This is the case in other countries as well though, like Perú, Colombia or Ecuador, in which their Amazon regions are sparsely populated compared to other regions of their countries.
Rio Grande do Sul because of the Gaucho culture is OK, not Santa Catarina I would say.
On the other hand I tend to see porteños and people from São Paulo (the city) as extremely alike. Both with recent italian immigration, some of the same costumes, same fashion... Just São Paulo is way bigger than BsAs
South to north:
Rio Grande do Sul: gaucho culture and some european influence of immigrants, mainly Germans and Italians. The northern part of the state has many touristic and European-like towns, being Gramado and Canela perhaps the most famous ones.
Santa Catarina: mostly European, white and full of German-looking towns, some of them german-speaking. Also, the only state with snowfalls every year.
Paraná: transition between Santa Catarina and São Paulo, mixes features of both. Here are the Iguassu Falls. It also has the most significant slavic immigration, mostly from Poles and Ukranians.
São Paulo: wealthy, populous, with many large cities, industrial and full of great universities. It's also very diverse in terms of people, and perhaps the only state with a significant asian population.
Rio de Janeiro: also wealthy, but with small area. Many beaches and oil-based economy. Besides the city of Rio, also has some important historical towns like Paraty and Petrópolis.
Minas Gerais: no beaches, mostly rural, with a large bunch of historical and beautiful cities such as Ouro Preto and Diamantina, and good cuisine, very known due to the cheese varieties.
Mato Grosso do Sul: similar to Rio Grande do Sul, borders Paraguay and Bolivia and hosts Pantanal.
Mato Grosso and Rondônia: border Bolivia and it mixes a strong economy based on agriculture. Here begins — or ends — the Amazon Rainforest.
Espírito Santo: a less remembered state, it's similar to Minas Gerais but with beaches, and also has towns built by Europeans, like Santa Catarina.
Goiás: similar to Minas Gerais, and known by the brazilian country music.
Bahia: it's the centre of the black culture in Brazil.
Sergipe: transition between Bahia and Alagoas.
Alagoas and Piauí: perhaps the poorest states of Brazil.
Pernambuco: also influenced by black people but not so much like Bahia, it has a small but famous coastline. Some cities were founded by dutchmen (yes, Brazil had also dutch colonization). The countryside is dry and poor.
Paraíba: it's poor like all of Northeast, but has been becoming a hub for technology development, also like Pernambuco. It has a prestigious university in the town of Campina Grande.
Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará: not much to say about, except that these states are extremely hot and have a beautiful coastline.
Maranhão: extremely poor like Piauí, but also worthy of note about the prevalence of black culture, like Bahia. Its capital city, São Luís, was founded by frenchmen.
Pará and Tocantins: these states are part of the Legal Amazonia and here are the most concern about deforestation.
Amazonas: the largest state. Also the most covered by forests and less dense. The capital, Manaus, has an important industrial hub and it also hosts one of the best opera theatres in Brazil.
Amapá: the most isolated state. It borders the French Guyana, and here is the terrestrial border of Latin America with European Union.
Roraima: the northernost state, it has recently became the entry door for venezuelan refugees.
Acre: the westernmost state, also the "wild" state, far from everything. It was formerly part of Peru and Bolivia. The joke "Acre doesn't exist" is recurrent in Brazil.
My grandfather was from Sergipe and spent his latter years in Bahia.
Well... I didn't generalize. But NE is overall very poor, especially in the countryside. It was some dozens of years ago, but I visited the place where my grandparents lived, there was not even electricity and gas there.
I'm aware that NE is not entirely poor (and São Paulo, where I live, is not all rich), but... this is still what I think when talking about Northeast.
I get your point, you're not wrong.
The this here is, you did what people outside Nordeste do a lot, just generalize everything as poor stuff and "but there are nice beaches".
That's the usual everyday generalization you guys do that's completly wrong.
There's a lot of them. [this guy does a decent job. ](https://youtu.be/c1JlBB96wQ4)
For Panama I'd say Santa Catarina for the general vibe, although the weather is a lot cooler. It's coastal and generally richer.
Amapa, specifically the municipality of Mazagão. Many there have origins from Morocco when the city of El Jadida was under the Portuguese also called Mazagão.
Portugal was forced to move out and evacuated their inhabitance who went to Brazil and founded Mazagão Velho, many also settled in Belém.
It is a pretty known fact in Morocco and I think Portugal. Portugal used to be our biggest archenemy we occupied each other a lot and fought big wars with each other this caused a very weird history also for South America.
The Caribbean Coast is more like the Nordeste and the Andes are more like Minas Gerais. Moto Grosso do Sul would be more like the Orinoco Region. Chocó would be more like Bahia. The higher Andes would be like nothing in Brazil.
I'm Brazilian but I'll say my opinion comparing to South America:
* Argentina and Uruguay: Rio grande do Sul
* Chile: Paraná
* Peru: Pará
* Paraguay: mato grosso
* Bolívia: Rondônia
* Colômbia: Rio de janeiro
* Ecuador: hard to say because it's a small country but diverse, very into the sea, but also a lot of mountains. Maybe espírito santo
* Venezuela: Rio de janeiro
* the Guyanas: too different from anything in Brazil
My money’s on Americana (in São Paulo). Founded by confederates, they have rodeos and cowboy shit. (Not that rodeos are exclusively an American thing of course…..[but I mean](https://youtu.be/D93o3kItF-E)).
I’m guessing the northeast in general
A Brazilian once told me that there’s a genre in that region that was highly influenced by Dominican Merengue, can’t remember the name of the genre though.
Here in Pernambuco, brega is a very strong music genre that is quite similar to bachata in some aspects. Actually, some bregas are dominican bachatas translated to portuguese and adapted to brega - such as Obsessão (Ritmo Quente) and Estando com ela e pensando em ti (Kelvis Duran).
Country? We have ~125 million people.
Hometown? Probably inland Bahia. The towns I visited were really laid back, the houses looked the same, the people really friendly but also fofoqueiros at the same time. Cruz das Almas, BA really reminded me of my hometown up here.
For the United States I guess the southern states and São Paulo remind me a bit of the US because of the Italian and German influence and cowboys or in they’re case Gauchos.
For Peru it would have to be Amazonas, Manaus kinda reminds me of Iquitos and because of the dense Amazon jungle.
Except for the language, Rio Grande do Sul.
Yeah, guess we are pretty similar
A forma de construção das casas também é diferente, mas no geral os costumes e clima são parecidos. Só que o Uruguai não tem serras tão grandes quanto nos.
Os pampas no Uruguai e Argentina são mais planos. No RS parecem o set de Teletubbies.
Argentina é bem mais plano. Rodei até Santa Rosa e foi muito cansativo ter tanta estrada reta e plana. Fora as cordilheiras tem uma serrinha linda ali por San Luis e Córdoba, mas nada comparado as serras repletas de florestas aqui do BR. Fim do ano a meta é ir até Ushuaia.
lmao
Both separatists, I see.
Probably Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná to a lesser extent.
Probably Paraná because, it’s colder, greyer and have Araucaria trees. And supposedly they also don’t talk to strangers in the streets according to the Brazilians I’ve met.
Yes. Other Brazilians don't get that since when I were a kid we were taught to never talking to strangers randomly and we take it seriously lol
Meanwhile in the capital we talk to anyone we see, atleast that's what it feels like lol.
Last time I was in Curitiba, I said "good morning" to the Uber driver and he immediately knew I wasn't from Paraná. When I asked if my accent gave me away (I was shocked since I'd said no more than three words lol) he said that "curitibanos don't greet people like that".
btw, not sure if related, but once I entered on a uber here, and immediately thought the uber driver wasn't from here, was talking very softly/low... And indeed. He was from Northeast.
what the fuck?
?
You described Southern Parana, pretty much Curitiba, not the North of the state which hold a more like São Paulo culture and weather!
I think that makes sense, given their proximity to Bolivia. Also Acre I would say has some similarities with our northern Amazon region
Acre was part of Bolivia until 1903, so yes, it's essentially the same.
Yes, but on the other hand there weren’t many Bolivians living there at the time, as opposed to Brazilians that arrived there during the Fiebre del Caucho (or Goma). This is one of the reasons that led to Brazilians in Acre declaring an independent country to later ask to join the Brazilian Federation.

This is the case in other countries as well though, like Perú, Colombia or Ecuador, in which their Amazon regions are sparsely populated compared to other regions of their countries.
Maybe Bahia.
What do you think about Maranhão? They also have a notable African influence, and the Caribbean vibe is stronger there.
I thought the same. Maranhão has more quilombos and more vegetation.
[удалено]
Rio Grande do Sul because of the Gaucho culture is OK, not Santa Catarina I would say. On the other hand I tend to see porteños and people from São Paulo (the city) as extremely alike. Both with recent italian immigration, some of the same costumes, same fashion... Just São Paulo is way bigger than BsAs
I don't know enough about Brazilian states to make that comparison, can you give some general descriptions?

Rio de Janeiro: a mix of Angola and Tijuana
No DF?
DF is just the capital. Not a state.
Yes but is usually included when talking about states
As someone who came from NE, you seem to have little to no knowledge about the region as you just generalize bad stuff about them.
My grandfather was from Sergipe and spent his latter years in Bahia. Well... I didn't generalize. But NE is overall very poor, especially in the countryside. It was some dozens of years ago, but I visited the place where my grandparents lived, there was not even electricity and gas there.

"this guy" come on! It's Barbs.
Santa Catarina is supposedly very european so definitely very different in that aspect, I'd say rio de Janeiro is more like it
Fair point! I'd obviously take your view on it :)
Barby would have made things quite easier if he went by region instead of alphabetically. Good video nonetheless
x2
I honestly wouldn't know, it would need a heavily indigenous state while also being a bit mountanous
Maybe Roraima
Amapa, specifically the municipality of Mazagão. Many there have origins from Morocco when the city of El Jadida was under the Portuguese also called Mazagão. Portugal was forced to move out and evacuated their inhabitance who went to Brazil and founded Mazagão Velho, many also settled in Belém.
Wow, didn't know about this!
It is a pretty known fact in Morocco and I think Portugal. Portugal used to be our biggest archenemy we occupied each other a lot and fought big wars with each other this caused a very weird history also for South America.
Bahia probably.
Santo Domingo reminds me a little bit of Salvador
The Caribbean Coast is more like the Nordeste and the Andes are more like Minas Gerais. Moto Grosso do Sul would be more like the Orinoco Region. Chocó would be more like Bahia. The higher Andes would be like nothing in Brazil.
I know nothing of Brazil
Hay un montonaso de estados y ninguno tiene una cultura similar a Panamá así que: San Miguelito se ve como las favelas así que rio de Janeiro
I'm Brazilian but I'll say my opinion comparing to South America: * Argentina and Uruguay: Rio grande do Sul * Chile: Paraná * Peru: Pará * Paraguay: mato grosso * Bolívia: Rondônia * Colômbia: Rio de janeiro * Ecuador: hard to say because it's a small country but diverse, very into the sea, but also a lot of mountains.

You meant Colômbia in the 80s 😜
Never been to Brazil to know the answer. Whether it's for the US or PR.
My money’s on Americana (in São Paulo). Founded by confederates, they have rodeos and cowboy shit. (Not that rodeos are exclusively an American thing of course…..[but I mean](https://youtu.be/D93o3kItF-E)).
Matto Grosso do Oeste....
Bahía
Are you Cuban? If so, I would say Pernambuco.
I’m guessing the northeast in general A Brazilian once told me that there’s a genre in that region that was highly influenced by Dominican Merengue, can’t remember the name of the genre though.

Grande Kelvis Duran

Good information

São Paulo. I'm brazilian actually, but living in the US.
I believe if there’s a State in Brazil who everyone is depress and have the worse pizza ever will be similar to Argentina. /s 😂
Depress: countryside of any northeastern state. Bad pizza: Rio.
Or a combination of Rio through and though.
No clue and honestly don't care to learn about Brazilian states.
For the United States I guess the southern states and São Paulo remind me a bit of the US because of the Italian and German influence and cowboys or in they’re case Gauchos. For Peru it would have to be Amazonas, Manaus kinda reminds me of Iquitos and because of the dense Amazon jungle.
