To clarify, both of these names are the subjects of famous songs. "The Girl from Ipanema" is about the Brazilian beach, and "Copacabana" is about the New York nightclub named after the Brazilian Beach.

Favella with two "l"s should be accepted. It is an accepted alternate spelling according to the interwebs. There are a few comments that people missed it because of the double L. Loving this country a day series.

correa91, I'm not like that because of blacks and poor people! I say this because it is a place that does not receive due attention from the government, and the bandits "lie down and roll" there, selling their drugs, stealing, killing, etc. I do not disrespect blacks and the poor.

I guess if there was a question about trailer parks or inner city ghettos on a country quiz about the United States, I might think that this was weird, too. And perhaps indicative of some bias. Unfortunately, the international image of Brazil is one that is often linked to sprawling slums. Whether that's really fair or not.

I would say the Amazon is a pretty huge part of Brazil though... that would be closer to seeing a question about the Rocky Mountains or the Mississippi River on a USA quiz which would make total sense.

Kal, it's not like that, but foreigners find slums like a bunch of houses stuck in big cities, so they think of it as normal. But whoever lives here in Brazil, knows how sad it is. There is not a single newspaper that does not speak of the panic that these people live in these agglomerations.

Brazil has 13.6 million people living in slums, in 2020, and more than 6 thousand such communities.

You have probably heard of Rocinha's Favela, haven't you? You must think: Wow! 100,000 people in that place over there? How awesome!

Too much comma! If they could, the residents of these favelas would flee thousands of kilometers from these places! For places like this, criminals, militiamen, traffickers, etc., lie down and roll selling their drugs, shooting everywhere, confronting the police, killing people. And these people, living irregularly, food, education and health are scarce. It is a huge sadness for us, while visitors think it is not a big deal...

Brazil is also the world's #1 producer of soybeans! Would be nice to see this accepted as an additional answer as the soybean output is nearly 40 times higher than the coffee output and soybeans, unlike coffee, are true beans.
