It has been difficult to find data on which states and cities are visited the most by Brazilians. I did find one article that said New York and Florida have experienced huge increases in the number of Brazilian tourists since 2009. I wish I could find a list that gave the number of Brazilian tourists by state or by city.
I talked to one of my Brazilian friends who lives in Sao Paulo about why Brazilians want to come to the United States. His response was "shopping of course." I will post the conversation below. It seems that New York City and Miami are often advertised in Brazil and that is why most Brazilians visit these two cities the most. One article I found shows that 52% of all Brazilians who travel abroad visit Western Europe because it is easier to travel to. The United States requires a long waiting time and an expensive visa process for Brazilians to visit our country. If the visa was ridden of many more Brazilians would visit the United States. I will keep doing my research about which cities are visited the most and why. Links from two articles below.

Do you know why Brazilians are visiting New York and Florida more than any other state?
Guilherme
cause those are the most famous states for shopping etc
Baker
what about California or Chicago are they not famous?
Guilherme
most people don´t know anything about chicago and california, it is not that good for shopping.
NY and FL are way better.
Baker
Los Angeles has lots of shops though
Guilherme
but the most famous states are still NY and Florida. We always hear about them on TV. Miami is always on the news for its cheap shopping malls.
