Mr Abbas will head the stone-laying ceremony on Friday, and on Saturday he will attend the inauguration ceremony for Brazil's new president, Dilma Rousseff, Palestinian diplomatic representative Ibrahim al-Zeben said.
Brazil angered Israel,the United States (and by association a Crusading Monarchical Britain - William Gladys), earlier this month when it declared it was recognising a sovereign Palestinian state within the borders before the 1967 Six Day War.
Argentina, Uruguay and Bolivia have since followed suit.
The other Latin American countries that previously recognised an independent Palestine are Cuba, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Venezuela.
Israel has called the declarations "regrettable," and said a Palestinian state should only be defined with its assent.
Lawmakers in the United States, Israel's close ally, have also criticised the moves.
Washington regularly uses its veto power in the UN Security Council to block any motions deemed to run counter to Israeli interests
