No need for central heat in the tropical climate. No headaches at gas pumps where gasoline, and fuel alcohol prices languish in the world’s most advanced alternative energy market. Arguably the most stable political and economic environment in the world today with huge national surpluses and a solid currency…safe, affordable, with one of the best school systems in Latin America…a Tuscany rivaling landscape, a thriving arts culture with world class artists and musicians, the earth packed to the hilt with reserves of gold, diamonds, and mineral wealth of every sort as well as an enormous agricultural abundance, Minas Gerais is everything you could possibly want.

Claimed by the United Nations as having the best quality of life of all the major Latin American cities, Belo Horizonte offers opportunity and a rich lifestyle. And with direct flights to and from Miami, Minas Gerais is your new back yard.

Kayaking in the Amazon, skiing in Argentina, scuba on the Brazilian coast, hiking the Inca trail…it’s all fairly affordable, as is owning and working your own farm, or hiring a farm manager to manage it for you. Whether it’s farm life, or living in the city and taking part in the multitude of adventure tourism activities offered in South America, the Brazilian State of Minas Gerais offers pretty much everything for those who dream of something more than a nine to five existence.

With buyers from the United States, Canada, and Europe all still enjoying a competitive advantage with relatively strong currencies, this is the time. Having retreated from a 3/1 advantage in 2005 to a less than 2/1 advantage today, the dollar can still buy a lot in Brazil. However, the Brazilian market is rising and the dollar is steadily falling against the Real. Poised to take off in any economic weather, the real estate market in Minas will not remain inexpensive much longer.
