It's not at all natural. Try this: "I travelled from America to Brazil."

Is it correct to say "I came to Brazil here from America"?

I am not a teacher.

It would be better without "here".

You could also say I came here to Brazil from America.

Given that Brazil is in America, I'd use "from the US". Not many English speakers would care, but Latin Americans sometimes do, and if you're in Brazil, you might be talking to one.

Brazil is not part of what is commonly caused America.

It's not part of what English speakers call America. But I've already implied that. The OP is going to be talking to someone in Brazil.
Your response merely confirms what I said: English speakers won't care.

I know people from Brazil, and at least those people don't care either.
