In 1580 four Carmelites, including Fr. Domingos Freire, from Portugal arrived in Pernambuco with the expedition of Captain Fructuoso Barbosa and eventually made a foundation in Olinda. As new recruits arrived, houses were opened in Bahia, Santos, and Rio de Janeiro. In 1595 these became the Vice Province of Brazil. At present the Province of Rio de Janeiro has about 72 religious working in Brazil, and Venezuela.

The first Carmelite foundation was made in 1580 in Olinda, Pernambuco. Other foundations were made throughout Brazil and a century later, in 1685, the vast vicariate of Brazil was divided into the vicariates of Rio de Janeiro and Bahia-Pernambuco. These in turn became provinces in 1720. Some of the houses of the Bahia-Pernambuco Province embraced the Stricter Observance and these in 1744 were constituted a Province with the title "Pernambuco".
At present the Province of Pernambuco has about 111 religious working in the United States and Mozambique.

In 1411, The Province of Bohemia separated from the Upper German Province and become with the friaries of Prague (founded in 1347) and Tachov (1385), and other friaries in Poland, Bylorussia and Hungary. In 1440, after the war of the Hussars, the friaries of Bohemia were given back to the Upper German Province. In 1462, the Province of Poland and Bohemia was founded, and after the destruction of the Province during the Reformation, Bohemia was once again erected as a province in 1593. After many changes to its composition, the Province was suppressed by the Emperor Josef II in 1781. Towards the end of 1989, when the country finally won its freedom, normal communications were once again opened between the friars in Czech Rep. and the General Council of the Carmelite Order in Rome. At present the General Delegation of Bohemia and Moravia has about 17 religious working in the Czech Rep. and in Italy. For more informations: www.karmel.cz

In 1493 the Province of Lusitania (Portugal) was established. The Province developed materially and spiritually in the XVII-XVIII centuries, until the time of the earthquake of 1755 which caused great damage. The Province was suppressed in 1834, when all the religious Orders in Portugal disappeared. The work of restoring Carmel in Portugal in 1930 was undertaken with the help of the Province of Betica, which found a convent in Lisbon (S. Quiteria). On 8 December 1992, the Provincial Commissariat of Portugal became a General Commissariat by decree of the General Council of the Order. At present it has about 24 religious working in Portugal.
