Brasil
Brasil like Colombia have a pretty bad reputation and like many other places in the world its based on few real stories, I have been arround SA twice for many month ( 6 month a time ) and never had any problem with thief or kidnaping. I live in the US ( close to Miami) and here too we have very bad area where I can warranty you that you will get mug at night and maybe during the day. Don't be paranoiac , don't show too much money at the time, stay in half descent hotel , avoid place with drug ,prostitute or too much alcool and you will be fine.Don't forget that most of the people which will try to scare you never travel to the actual destination .
have a great trip( but watch for banditos)
