1. Umm okay so you could go on.. www.wikitravel.com www.virtualtourist.com - www.gapyear.com Possible that you will need vaccinations btw.... use google!!
2. Alagoas is a State. The capital of the State is Maceio. It's a friendly city with low ceime rate.It's mainly a sugar port , with a major petrochemical plant The beaches near the town center are polluted but you can go outside the city. Also check out : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alagoas You must go.
3. If you're American, check out the US State Department website (below). Click the link then click on Travel Warnings. As of 5AM Eastern 21 Feb 07, there is no warning for Brazil. Also on the travel page, there is a link to register with the US Embassy at your destination. That way they know where you are and how long you are supposed to be there. It's also handy if something at home comes up and your family needs to get ahold of you.
