Brazil takes violating the terms of a tourist visa a whole lot more seriously than Argentina so I'd recommend getting a new visa in BA before heading to Brazil. I believe you get charged per day when you overstay a tourist visa (I heard it was something like 6.5 reals per day). And the second time I went to Brazil I had a real hassle at the airport because I had no exit stamp from my first visit. Took like a half-hour to get through. So, they take that stuff seriously over there. Don't mess around, get a new visa before you go.
