The best way for you to find out is making a search in GOOGLE.
You should also consult the nearest Brazilian Consulate or Embassy in Washington D.C.
Good Luck!!!
Here are some names
Universidade de Sao Paulo, Universidade Sao Luis.

The public universities in Brazil are very good. They do not charge tuition to Brazilian students so competition for admission is intense. I am not sure what tuition/fees are charged to foreign students. Some of the private universities are very good, at others (many of the "for-profit" universities) the professors are pressured to give everyone a good grade, so that the students will continue to pay tuition. Universities require students applying for admission to take very rigorous entrance exams. Students in Brazil generally spend one or more years attending special schools (after graduating from high school) to prepare for those rigorous entrance exams. The exams cover general subjects and subjects specific to your "college" in the university, i.e., the special subject exams for engineering are different than the exams for law or medical school. The top university in Brazil is probably USP in Sao Paulo, but admission is extremely difficult - less than 5% of the students that take the admission exam are admitted to USP. A private university would be much easier to attend, but I am not familiar with the private universities in SP. Good luck.
