Brazil contained the last factory in the world that produced the T2 series of Type 2, which ceased production on 31 December 2013, due to the introduction of more stringent safety regulations in the country.[7] This (after the 2002 termination of its T3 successor in South Africa) marked the end of the era of rear-engine Volkswagens, which originated in 1935 with their Type 1 prototypes.

According to Google, it's ~8100 miles as the crow flies from Sao Paolo to Anchorage. I can only assume that driving may add at the very least several hundred miles, or maybe as many as 1000 which I would think would be the most direct route without detouring to see other things.
