Region
While we have visited the entire coastline, we focus on the states of Sao Paulo, Parana, and Santa Catarina. This is because they provide the highest standards in Brazil, the best access from Europe, while still providing abundant access to natural resources compared to Europe. We have a solid experience and network in the state of Rio de Janeiro for the more speculative & adventurous investor.
