One place I'd recommend, Lençois Maranhenses. It's in Maranhão, the state itself is poor, but the resortings surrounding the parks are very good and safe too. A lot of tourism there, so things work different in these areas
LOL thanks, it made me laugh because it looks like a really nice respectable neighbourhood. The guy was probs a doctor or dentist or something, but behind closed doors he eats shit lol
