I am Brazilian, and I will give a report to foreigners who want to come here. What I notice a lot about tourists is that they usually choose Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo to visit, two extremely populous and also very violent places "São Paulo not so much", but what I mean when you want to come, choose other regions from Brazil, and you will hardly regret the visit, choose places like Gôania, Santa Catarina, Gramados, Brasília, Corítiba, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande Do Sul, Northeast among others, this is just some tips of places to visit, the choice is yours.

People just hop off their bikes when they get home, and fetch it again in the morning without even blinking twice (or students just leave it at the train station when they go to school).

This is my opinion and I agree with some certain points of the video but overall Brazil is not safe, it makes no difference if you're in a rich neighborhood or not. In most of brazilian cities the natives don't feel comfortable walking in the streets and their houses have 2-4 meters walls, that is not a good indication of a country being overall "safe".And just so people know in most favelas kidnapping, mugging and carjacking are NOT allowed by the cartels, it's punishable by death , so most of these crimes happen OUTSIDE of the favelas, majority happen in "middle-class areas" or low density poor areas. Also, "common sense" or whatever means absolutely nothing, for some brazilians "common sense" is not buying a house because it might be invaded and rather live in an apartment, or not walking around with a cellphone because you might lose it (can you imagine not walking around with a cellphone in the 21th century?), and believe it or not but my dad always told me "Always walk around with a couple of bucks or at least a cellphone, because if you don't have anything there is a chance the robber gets angry at you and God knows what some of them are capable of", and yes that has happened before, many such cases of people getting killed because they had cheap cellphones or nothing on their pockets, life costs only 3-10 years in prison in Brazil, so bad guys don't even think twice. I'm not saying you should not come here, we have great things like our landscapes, unique food, amazing beaches, great weather and warm people who are really friendly, but if you expect to be safe when walking around the beaches or the streets as if you were in Portugal or Japan you're dead wrong, you should expect Brazil to be something like South Africa or Mexico.

Tusen takk for fin video om Fortaleza fra et norsk perspektiv. Vurderer å dra dit.

I am Brazilian and I beg to disagree that Brazil is not a dangerous place to visit. Many members of my family who live in Fortaleza, Ceara Brasil are mugged quite often. It is scary to visit and to live in Brazil. Even in the small towns and farms. The poor farmers cannot own a TV because sooner or later it will be taken from them. It's a country where a woman cannot wear a simple engagement ring with a very small diamond while she goes out. A child in my family in Aldeota walking to school is robbed of his Nike sneakers and is forced to go back home barefoot. My brother who is a dentist and live in a nice area has had 2 of his brand new cars stolen. My nephews and nieces have been taken their cells from them. A place where man with a sharp knife stop at a bus stop with a beg and tells all 28 people in line to put their phones and wallets in his beg than climbs on his motorcycle and takes off laughing. A few years ago when I visited Fortaleza one my nephews was driving me and kept going through red lights, when I said something, he said tia after 10 o'clock if we stop at the red lights we may be mugged and/or killed. I would not say this is not a dangerous place. I am free in America, and I don't feel free in Brazil. You have been very lucky!

Thank you for your feedback Edna. I do think you are missing the point on what I’m trying to say. As the list of the most violent cities in the world suggests, Brazil has a serious crime problem, however if you take your precautions and use common sense, I believe there is no reason for why you shouldn’t visit Brazil. I don’t feel lucky to not have been robbed in my 15 years living in Brazil. I don’t feel lucky because I’m not afraid of going out by myself, walking the dogs or driving at night. I am however, very aware of the crime that is present, and I take my precautions. I know exactly where not to go, what not to wear and how to behave in public. I am aware of the stories you are telling about robberies on public transport, or at gas stations etc, however I personally would never take the public transport service in Fortaleza, or any Brazilian city for that matter. If I can’t take my own car then I’ll take a taxi to where I’m going. Like I said, I think it’s possible to avoid crime if you have the means to take your precautions.

When I was on the plane I was told by a Brazilian local to take care of my belongings, do not wear fine gadgets while in public because her country is very dangerous for tourist, even at the airport, I complied pretty well. Luckily I look so much like a Japanese with my really cute eyes so most of the travellers who were with me didn't realize I was a foreigner until I speak in English (I just know a little bit of portugues), but really my physic worked, no one ever bothered with me because of that, and people are very friendly indeed and really good looking hahaha. I was with my boyfriend all the time so he made sure to secure me, protect me. But there was one time that we had to walk at a certain place really fast because he saw two guys were looking at us, observing our move and as if was planning to rob us. That was a close call for me, and he protected me well. For a week I stayed in São Bernardo (SP) I felt safe somehow, we even did the SP Free Walking Tour, it was a good experience! I love Brazil!

Before watching the video 'til the end (sorry!) I can say something about most cities in Brazil: most violent crimes are usually on the outskirts (which is very unfortunate for the poor)

Esse ranking de homicídio mostrado foi apresentado por esse site como sendo recente, mas a verdade é que ele já é bem antigo. Foi um "estudo" feito a alguns anos atrás por uma instituição mexicana que pegou dados de 2016/2017 (que foram anos de homicídios bem atípicos aqui) e fez esses ranking, que teve muita repercussão aqui em Fortaleza. Fato é que Fortaleza tem muitos homicídios mesmo, mas como você mesmo citou eles atingem a um público bem específico. Eu diria que quase sempre são homens jovens, pardos/negros de baixa renda e pouca escolaridade que devido a falta de oportunidades se envolvem com tráfico de drogas.... E na verdade essa a realidade da maioria dos pais da América Latina. E apesar do Brasil não ser um produtor de drogas como a Colômbia ou Bolívia, o Brasil é segundo maior consumidor mundial de drogas, atrás só dos EUA. O que eu acho realmente importante ressaltar é que esse quadro vem mudando: ano passado o Ceará reduziu a taxa de homicídios pela metade (maior redução no pais). E que taxa de homicídios não é um bom parâmetro para medir nível de violência, passa um imagem distorcida da realidade.

Maybe because you live in the more affluent part of that area. It's the same in every violent City like in Detroit, Jersey etc you have the violence right beside the affluence and the affluent doesn't see any of it.

Did you speak Portuguese before your very first visit?

Sad but true! Mostly Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and some other big cities.

You’ve never experienced those things because you live and operate in your own little bubble, probably with other privileged people in your city. You can live in the most dangerous city in the world but if you don’t actually go to certain parts of town and interact with certain types of people you won’t experience or even know how bad things are. Just like here in the U.S. where every city has bad areas and good areas. The people from those two areas don’t mix which means that neither know of the other’s situation.

Compared to a country like Australia where people violently robbing you never happens and no one possesses guns. Yes, yes it is dangerous. You're just used to the country. Also the fact the police force are underfunded, corrupt and bad you have a high unsolved homicide rate. If one person is murdered in Australia (very rare) it's quickly solved. If one is murdered in Brazil (common) it might not get solved.

Mostly favelas in Rio are ruled by druglords and they don't allow any crime there. If you're going to work (and live) there, being nice and humble are essential keys. Rio is not a safe city in general (as a Brazilian, I would choose any other city to live).

Urban living is injurious to your health. People aren't meant to live like that. I worked for over 20 yrs in NYC, I know what I'm talking about. Too much street-level and sexual opportunism.

Is it safe by no means is it safe, especially in Rio and during the pandemic it's off the charts!!!!

No one picked on you because you have the head of an MMA fighter, a Jujitsu master.

I write this from Rio right now. If anyone does not believe me, check my channel as I uploaded 2 videos from Rio in the past few days. it is a HUGE CRIME POT for muggings and robberies. My one friend is from Canada here with us and he saw 3 separate robberies on Rio's beach in ONE DAY. What's better is it ALL happened in front of the police and the police did nothing. I am in an area off the beach in a top of the line hotel and even the train station here people get mugged. This AREA IS NOT SAFE-period. I am a BJJ guy, former US military and can deal with most issues, but really it is sad here. the people are very nice, friendly, food is good, but the crime is OFF THE HOOK. if you look like a target, forget about it and stay out of here-the risk is huge and I have been to 21 countries in my life. Even the citizens of Brazil complain about this nonsense.

@@2000ViperGTSsubscribe Good. I hope you come back someday to know the rest of the country. Because Rio is just beautiful, but it's not a place to live. You can easily find what Rio offers you in another place of the country. It's quite dangerous and their hypocrisy is out of this world (I mean, you can't walk around because you were not vaccinated, while in some areas kids are carrying rifles and killing cops). Btw, Rio is the only city that are demanding vaccine cards (São Paulo is doing it in some events)

Brazil is very dangerous, but it pretty much depends on where you live. I live in northeastern region and it's very dangerous here, but if you wanna visit safe places you need to take a look on the southern part of Brazil. The states os Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul are very safe compared to the northeastern states. If you wanna visit Brazil, take a look on the southern region, but not the southeastern one, those are dangerous too.

@@user-pp5wy8zz8j here in Brazil, we call the southern region 'Sul', which literally means 'South', the 'Sul' region is made up by Parana, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul and it's the safest place to live in Brazil. Meanwhile, the region of 'Sudeste' which literally translates to 'Southeast' is made up by the most populated states in the country, those are São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo. The Southeast Region is safe compared to the northeast, but it's also dangerous in the capital cities like Rio and São Paulo.

Cara eu sou do Brasil não entendi merda nenhuma que vc falou, mais minha opinião sobre: é assim O Brasil é um país onde muitos jovens são influenciados pelas drogas,músicas (de baixo escalão por muitas vezes),pobrezas, dificuldade de emprego. Os principais local conhecidos pelos BRASILEIROS são: Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, mais claro todo lugar tem. Mais muitas das pessoas desse país tem uma humildade grande, ainda sendo um país de pessoas briguentas KKK.

@@lucasryan4181 But the war between gangs ends up extrapolating for the whole population, violence is never "contained", the violence that happens between the drug lords impacts the whole society, just see what happened in São Paulo when the PCC made attacks on the city like a terror group, or how big bank robberies are occurring most of them financed by the drug cartels, and civilians catch in the middle are being killed. So violence in Brazil for civilians is not rare at all, it happens almost everyday.
