Various Summer (And Winter) Beach Destinations For Porteños

I dunno, the euro wasn't really two out of synch with sterling a few years back (2011 - April) I don't think. It wasn't cheap and I was mentally converting prices back into Euros. Anyway, that might all be irrelevant now. Not how the conversion btw reales and other currencies.

I'll bet that if Argentina and Uruguay were more developed countries than they actually are, they would generate such a tourist demand to Brazil that Brazil would have a lot more options for activities, hotels, restaurants, etc. than in real life; right?

I am not so sure. There are plenty of Argentines that can afford to go outside the country. I just think generally, Brazil is not as popular as you would expect because it isnt that cheap and it has stiff competition. Particularly with the $ controls and issues, it has almost made Miami comparatively more popular and a lot cooler. You see it when your out, if I had a few pesos for every time I have heard.."gorda, en Miami..."

So what makes Brazil not so cheap? Is it the exchange rate between the Argentine or Uruguayan pesos and the Brazilian real? Is it that there are relatively too few tourist facilities? What is it?

But has Brazil always not been so cheap? And many Argentines and Uruguayans do go to southern Brazil (e.g. to Floripa) in the summer - would many more go to that area in the summer if Brazil were cheaper?

Brazil has started to really develop economically over the past 10 years and I think it is expensive (comparatively with its neighbours, including here) with any currency, whether it be USD, EUR etc. With regards to the tourist facilities I am not too sure of the specifics.

I fully endorse that Brazil is bloody expensive if you're on a pesos salary.

According to the XE Currency Converter, here is how the Brazilian real (1.00 real) compares to other currencies:

0.32 British pound
0.38 euro
0.49 US dollar
0.50 Canadian dollar
0.50 Australian dollar

2.57 Argentine pesos
9.23 Uruguayan pesos
