Rio's rhythm, waterfalls and the wild Amazon
Everything travelers usually ask before a trip to Brazil. Can't find your answer? We're a message away.
December to March brings peak summer beach weather and Carnaval, while October to November offers great weather with fewer crowds; July to September is best for the Amazon.
Since April 2025, US, Canadian and Australian citizens need a Brazil e-visa; EU and UK passport holders remain visa-free for up to 90 days.
Ten to fourteen days lets you combine Rio, Iguacu and either the Amazon or the Northeast, while a week covers Rio plus one add-on.
Use domestic flights for the long distances and take normal big-city precautions; visitors must also show onward tickets, accommodation and proof of funds on entry.
Light, breathable clothing and sun protection for the tropics, plus a light layer for the cooler May to September low season.
Riding the cable car up Sugarloaf at sunset, then watching the sun rise over Christ the Redeemer, captures Rio at its most spectacular. Pair it with a night of live samba.
Try feijoada, Brazil's hearty black bean and pork stew, fresh grilled picanha, and thirst-quenching acai bowls and caipirinhas.
Yes, beaches, waterfalls and wildlife-watching appeal to all ages, though the country's size means it pays to focus on one or two regions per trip.
