I live in Brazil but my nationality is Dutch. What many people don’t know is that there has been a connection between the two countries in the 17th century. John Maurice of Nassau, prince of Nassau-Siegen sailed on behalf of the Dutch Indian Company in 1636 to South America where he landed near Recife in the state of Pernambuco. He extended the Dutch possesions along the coastel area in the North East of Brazil and acted as governor. He built a beautiful house in the small city of Olinda, called the Red House. It is still there and you can visit it. Dutch Brazil ceased to exist in 1654 and came into possession of Portugal.
Brazil is a fascinating mix! When I was there I met loads of people with German roots, too. And Dutch Guyana is next door...

That is true. For example, Brazil has the largest group of people of Japanese descent in the world.

Não conhecia esta casa, valeu! Pensava que os portugueses tinham destruído toda a herança do período da Companhia das Índias e só deixado aquele forte na Ilha de Itamaracá. Obrigado, sucesso e boa sorte mais uma vez!

Olá @eagleye, sou agrônomo, de Curitiba e tenho muitos clientes e amigos nas cidades de Carambeí e Castrolanda, principalmente. Conhece estas cidades ? Em Carambeí há um museu da imigração holandesa no Brasil.
