Brazil is middling in how freely it admits visitors, admitting 103 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #43 with 152 open destinations. Access is actually lopsided the other way — Brazil citizens enter Rwanda more easily (visa on arrival).
In the opposite direction, Brazil citizens travelling to Rwanda face: visa on arrival.
