I turn out otherwise in Brazil (3)

I believe the answer is:

rio

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'in brazil' is the definition.
('Rio' is part of 'brazil')

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for rio that I've seen before include "place of carnival" , "A Mexican river, may be grande" , "Manchester United player in South American city, in short?" , "Flying Down to -, Astaire, Rogers film" , "... Grande, ... de Janeiro" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
