where should I travel to in Brazil?
I am a student going abroad to Lima, Peru this semester and I was thinking of going to Brazil for a couple weeks after the semester. Where in Brazil should I travel to? I enjoy beaches/lakes, nightlife, and culture. OR what about maybe a different country in South America? What do you recommend?

Brazil? Unless you are South American and understand the risks I would not recommend visiting Brazil at all, it is a very dangerous Country and that goes double for tourists.

The Evil Lord Darkclaw: shut up idiot! stop being a pussy! Brazil is not that dangerous, yeah rio is dangerous, but Brazil is more than Rio, I have lived most of my life in Brazil and nothing happen to me ever.

Florianópolis or some other Santa Catarinas's (state) beaches. :)

Florianopolis is the way to go... some of the best beaches around, as well as the most beautiful people, good nightlife, and its MUCH LESS violent than cities like Rio. BUT it depends when you go. Florianopolis is relatively cold in the winter. You wont get snow there, but certainly you will freeze if you try to swim or take a sun bath. Summer in the southern hemisphere goes from december to march, you know, and winter from june to september. if it happens that you would only be able to visit Florianopolis in cold months, then you should think somewhere else. Rio is not really a bad call. The violence is high but its quite restricted to the poor neighborhoods. And Rio is huge, so there is plenty of space that ARENT poor neighborhoods.

Brazil have plenty of options for someone who enjoy beaches. Just some of those place worth to know: Natal - RN Fortaleza - CE Porto de Galinhas - PE Salvador - BA Porto Seguro - BA
