Travel guide: Brazil 🇧🇷

Best time to go

• Rio de Janeiro and Southeast Brazil:  Summer (December to March) is the peak season, especially in Rio. It's perfect for beach vacations, Carnival celebrations (usually in February or March), and outdoor activities
• Amazon Rainforest: the best time to visit is the dry season (June to November). Wildlife spotting, hiking, and river cruises are popular activities with fewer mosquitoes and clearer trails
• Northeast Brazil: the dry season is from September to February and is ideal for visiting destinations like Salvador, Fortaleza, and Recife
• Pantanal Wetlands: July to September is the dry season, which is the best time for wildlife watching and ecotourism activities: spot jaguars, caimans, and a variety of bird species in their natural habitat.
• Southern Brazil: Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November) are pleasant times to visit destinations like Florianopolis and Foz do Iguaçu

Good to know
