With a population of 200,383, Santa Maria da Boa Vista is no sleepy backwater. This planned city in Brazil's north has all the bureaucracy and headaches of a major urban center. The radial layout and French-inspired design may seem charming, but day-to-day life is a grind of traffic, paperwork, and navigating the local government. On the plus side, the climate is tropical with a distinct dry season, and the city has its share of cultural attractions like the Festa Junina festival. Overall, Santa Maria da Boa Vista is best suited for those seeking an authentic Brazilian experience, warts and all.
