One of the best sites that I’ve seen on Brazil is Brazilmax, which calls itself the “hip gringo guide to Brazil”. It has a very nice design and features some of the best articles that I’ve read on Brazil. Now in its fifth year, Brazilmax is the brainchild of Bill Hinchberger, a native of California who has lived in Brazil since 1986. Unlike most travel sites, Brazilmax is more like a magazine, which reflects Hinchberger’s background as a journalist. I look at a lot of travel sites and I don’t find that many that I really like but Brazilmax is certainly one that I highly recommend, a must-read if you’re going to Brazil.
