Thinking of places to go now covid is slowing down, and Brazil interests me.
Any tips and tricks?
I don't want to get chopped up in a favela.

Waiting for a miscer to post a decapitation video or a street robbery video. South America lulz.
Anyway if it were me I would just GPS spoof on apps first and see what sort of matches I can pull. If somehow Bumble / Tinder is a disaster that would personally discourage me from going even if there are good "hostel bar" places for smashing fellow female travelers.

I've been once, we built a church in a small village, converted some people, and provided medical care. It's crazy you posted this because I just started listening to a lot more bossa nova. One thing I remember is that we took a bus in Rio that would constantly drive without stopping, just in case there were hijackers. We saw a lot of favelas and stayed in a lot of small villages.
I think if you go as a tourist then you are probably fine in the tourist areas. It's safe inside the churches, but I figure you are not going just to see the churches. You should also get this soft drink called guarana and learn some Portuguese. It's really pretty by the coast, but like much of Latin America there is intense poverty. It does not even compare to a bad neighborhood in the first world.
I think the usual tourist thing is beach resorts and such in Rio which seems like it could be nice. Some things you could do are stay at a ranch, go to the old colonial towns like Salvador, or go see some natural sights through nature trails. If you are worried about criminals, just don't advertise your wealth, learn the basics of the language, show people respect, and give something if you see someone begging or asking for help.Beans, cleans, gasoline
