In the first decades of the 20th century, the government and brazilian intellectuals made an effort to have closer relations with Hispanic America, particularly Argentina. This approach can be observed, besides other documents, in travel writings, that are significant sources to analyse the visions about the “other”. After some reflections about travel writings as historical sources, we analyse three narratives of Brazilian travellers through the Prata region: of the journalist Arthur Dias, published in 1901; of Mario Brant, in 1917, and, finally, of Luiz Amaral, in 1927. We consider that the travel writings between Americas are rich historical sources – and still no sufficient explored by the historians to understand the representations constructed by latin americans about other latin americans, considering that the national identities had been affirmed, in great measure, face the neighbouring countries.
