Paulo Afonso, Brazil
Follows Brazil Residency Rules. Check Digital Nomad & Retiree Pathways →
This city in northeast Brazil has a population of just 112,870 - hardly the bustling metropolis many expats dream of. The scorching semi-arid climate is a constant challenge, and bureaucracy is a persistent headache. But the stunning canyons of the São Francisco River offer an outdoor escape, if you can tolerate the heat. Overall, Paulo Afonso is a sleepy, remote outpost best suited for nature lovers willing to embrace the slower pace of provincial Brazilian life.
