Can anyone tell me what kind of spider this is?
Location is Brazil, Minas Gerais, Belo Horizonte
They told me this kind of spider lives in cold places in the back of the house.

Many thanks

It is a species of tarantula. There are many different species of this large hairy spider. Not sure which one it is. Here are some links to info about Tarantulas. If this is in your house, be very careful. You may want to call your local wildlife control to remove it or to instruct you on how to move it without getting bitten.

Thanks for the information.
Looking at the pictures on these websites and the Portuguese wikipedia information, I think it is a Lasiodora parahybana, Brazilian Salmon Pink Tarantula.
Can anyone confirm this?

Wikipedia:
A Caranguejeira Comedora de Pássaros Salmão Rosa Brasileira (Lasiodora parahybana), não muito se difere das outras tarântulas. Tem o nome pela sua coloração rosa, e por ser originária do Brasil, mais especificamente o nordeste brasileiro.

Hi maarten. Your picture was a bit fuzzy so I was a bit reticent to try to name it. I believe that there is a VERY good possibility that it is a Brazilian Pink Birdeater. There are just so many different kinds of tarantulas that look similar, without a really sharp image, it does make it difficult to completely confirm. Here are some other pics of one and other info for you to look at.
