[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I appreciate the effort, I don't want to go to Brazil so I can sit on the beach or fish. Isn't the whole argument being made on this thread that we need to "meet other people" and "experience different cultures"? I can sit on the beach and fish at my $1K beach house in Delaware, thank you very much.

I like the mountain area, but exactly how far off the beaten track is it?  In fact, how far off the beaten track are the beach and fishing places?  While Pantanal looks lovely, it seems like a logistical challenge to get there, and lots of additional $$ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantanal), so your "quite a drive" seems like a bit of an understatement.[/quote]

Sweet heart, when I say fishing it's like this:

Nothing compared to your fancy fishing equipment. Or your filthy tackle box.

And if you don't wanna get wet but still want to experience the culture:

There are local markets all over the place where you can watch them doing their crafts. It's standard in Brazil. Beach destination means craft/fish market.
