Does anyone know why there seems to be more sinkholes in Brazil and South America in general than anywhere else?
Crappy infrastructure and poor engineering. If you build what's basically a dam over a waterway out of dirt, it's eventually going to succumb to the water that's constantly eroding it. In this instance, it looks like there may have been a lot of extra water involved, which is never a good thing.

They're working with nothing most of the time, like FBT said it's mostly dirt roads and when the rivers flood it all gets washed away.
