Hi Albert,

Places I can suggest you in Brazil:

FLORIANÓPOLIS - a mix of city and beaches;

IGUAZU FALLS: worldly known;

CANYON ROUTE - it's an easy dirt road - you can begin it in PRAIA GRANDE (S29 11.832 W49 57.043) - SC-450 (in Santa Catarina State), then take - RS-427 - then visit ITAIMBEZINHO CANYON, then go to CAMBARA DO SUL - RS-020 - then FORTALEZA CANYON - then SÃO JOSÉ DOS AUSENTES - then CANYON MONTENEGRO - then BOM JARDIM DA SERRA - URUBICI - SC-370 - MORRO DA IGREJA - thenride SC-370 to ride to the coast to FLORIANOPOLIS.

Aparados da Serra - Guia Aparados da Serra - Parque Nacional dos Aparados da Serra - Aparados da Serra Cavalgadas - Aparados da Serra Pacotes - Aparados da Serra SC - Aparados da Serra RS - Canyon Itaimbézinho - Canyon Fortaleza - Cambará do Sul - Ma

A Big Plus on that route !

Not ideal for a street bike though. Lots of pea gravel on rock with steep downhill grades. Like riding on ball bearings.
