The data below show a profile of the Argentinians who came to Brazil in 2002.
Not surprisingly, there is a higher flux of Argentinians going to cities in the southern States of Brazil (nearer to the border with Argentina), like Florianópolis, Porto Alegre, Foz do Iguaçu, Camboriú and Torres; for historical reasons, Búzios (many Argentinians settled there) is also a city constantly visited by Argentinians.
