During the Age of Exploration, Portugal and Brazil were both very strong colonizing powers. The reason that they colonized Brazil was because they could. At the time, land and wealth went hand in hand, and they wanted access to whatever potential natural resources were in Brazil (at the time, people seemed to think there were just ridiculous stores of gold all over the New World).
If you're asking why they wouldn't go any further, it's because of a decree by the Pope at the time. Spain and Portugal were both colonizing parts of South America at the time, and they were having arguments about who had claims to what, and what was fair for who to colonize. They took it to the Pope, and the Pope drew a line on a map- at a time when the charts of the new world were still incomplete. Portugal could colonize to the east of that line, and Spain could colonize to the west of it.
Spain wanted trading posts and forts to secure the lines of commerce and spanish interest. They also wanted to maintain a presence on the western coast of Africa for easier trade
