Well I am in the São Paulo region for work so obviously one of the first things I did was to sample the local hot sauces. Brazilian food is generally not spicy except up north in Bahia, etc. so I have unfortunately been disappointed most of the time. Most taste like a weaker version of Red Hot.

There is one brand I found I like a lot called Aroma de Minas based in the neighboring state of Minas Gerais. Picked up a few bottles in the resort town of Parati. The green hot sauce is especially good (Molho de Pimenta Verde) but the red sauce (Molho de Pimenta) is nice as well. It is also the only company I have found that sells to consumers, not just food preparation establishments, in 900 mL bottles.

My buddy in Belo Horizonte seems to find all kinds of good hot sauces, especially malagueta sauces.

Here's a great pic of a chile vendor in a local market. What a firey little booth

Wow, cool! Yeah, Belo Horizonte is the capital of MG state and where this other company is located. Best hot sauce I found so far but their distribution isn't the best so it is hard to find. I feel like going there just to meet Papa Pimenta!
