It depends on how you define poorest.  If you are talking about the most people living below the poverty line, it is Asia.  But overall, there is much more $$ in Asia than Africa.  Either way, if you are looking to travel, check out Kenya and China.  Both are incredible.

Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil (Portuguese: 'Brasil' or República Federativa do Brasil, listen (help·info)[1]), is the largest and most populous country in South America, and fifth largest in the world in both area and population. It is also the second most populous country in the Western Hemisphere after the United States. Spanning a vast area between central South America and the Atlantic Ocean, it is the easternmost country of America and it borders Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname and the French department of French Guiana. In fact, it borders every South American nation except for Ecuador and Chile.\n\nThe country's name is generally believed to be derived from pau-brasil (brazilwood), a tree highly valued by early colonists, though some credit the name to a mythical land mentioned in Europe during Middle Ages. Brazil is home to both extensive agricultural lands and rain forests. Exploring vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is South America's leading economic power and a regional leader.\n\nBrazilian society is still heavily influenced by Portugal's 300 year colonization. Portuguese is the official language, and the Roman Catholic religion is adopted by most of its people, with a number of adherents never seen in any other country. The population is composed mainly of descendants from European immigrants and Africans brought during the slavery times. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Brazil attracted well over 5 million European, Arab and Japanese immigrants. That period also saw Brazil industrialise, further colonise, and develop its interior.\n\nAfter declaring independence from Portugal in 1822, Brazil became a monarchy until a military coup deposed the emperor and established a Republic in 1889. Brazilian democracy was replaced by dictatorships three times — 1930–1934 and 1937–1945 under Getúlio Vargas, and 1964–1985, under a succession of generals appointed by the military. In the 1980s the military regime ended and a new constitution was established, opening the way to the Brazilians' return to democracy.\n\nCurrently Brazil's greatest challenge is to reactivate its economy, which was once one of the most thriving in the world but had many problems in the last 20-30 years, while dealing with serious issues that plague many of its inhabitants, like poverty, hunger and crime.\n\nHistory of Brazil\nMain article: History of Brazil\n \nAncient map of Brazil issued by the Portuguese explorers in 1519.Brazil is thought to have been inhabited for at least 10,000 years by semi-nomadic populations before the first Portuguese explorers, led by Pedro Álvares Cabral, disembarked in 1500. Over the next three centuries, it was resettled by the Portuguese and exploited mainly for brazilwood (Pau-Brasil) at first, followed by sugarcane (Cana-de-Açúcar) agriculture, coffee beans and gold mining. The colony's source of manpower was initially composed of enslaved Amerindians, and after 1550, mainly African. In 1808, Queen Maria I of Portugal and her son and regent, the future João VI of Portugal, fleeing from the armies of Napoleon, relocated to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, with the royal family, nobility and government. This is the only recorded trans-continental relocation of a royal family.\n\nThough they returned to Portugal in 1821, the interlude led to the opening of commercial ports to the United Kingdom — at the time isolated from most European ports by Napoleon — and to the elevation of Brazil to the status of a united kingdom under the Portuguese Crown. Upon João VI's departure, the remaining royal government in Rio moved to dissolve the Kingdom of Brazil and return it to the status of colony. This resulted in the small scale conflicts known as the Brazilian War of Independence. On 7 September 1822 Prince regent Dom Pedro I (later Pedro IV of Portugal) declared independence, establ

The easy answer is that the two longest countries in South America are Chile and Argentina.\n\nHowever, it may depend on what specifically you mean by "longest."  Chile is definitely the longest, north to south; but Brazil is actually longer than Argentina, thought it does not look so because it is also quite wide.
