Brazil, at least when I visited it about two years ago, was a great experience for me. I stayed with some family and Rio de Janeiro and experienced life as a beach bum, which the locals of this city have a reputation for being. So needless to say I spent much time drinking and playing futebol and capoeira on the beach, and had a blast doing very simple things for free. All in all, great experience without spending a ton of money.
The most expensive thing will be the flight if you can find a cheap place to stay (or free in my case!). They speak Portuguese here, not Spanish, but they are very similar so I recommend picking up a phrase book before you go.

How long were you there? Any pics to show us?
