18 years ago you could probably get some fantastic huge plots of land for even less than 500 R$.

All depends on the size, what use you can give the land and what licenses the land has.

The location really depends on what you are looking to do with the land. Build a house for yourselves, develop into a block of apartments, build a hotel or a pousada or just sit on the land for a few years then resell.

Depending on which of the above, you'll want to look in different areas and at plots with different classifications and licensing.

I work for an agency doing market research but don't sell myself and don't get involved in sales on the forums, but there are plenty of agents on these forums who have access to land, or use a Brazilian agent or do your own research on which agency is the best option for you - either way make sure that whoever you get to do the research for you (be it your wife, a European agent or a Brazilian agent) research them first to make sure they are capable of doing what you need them to do.
