When to go

Brazil’s vast size means the climate varies across its regions. In the Amazon and Pantanal Wetlands, the summer rainy season runs from January to May, bringing higher water levels and more humid conditions. The drier months outside this period are ideal for easier travel and better wildlife viewing. The North East region and Rio de Janeiro enjoy warm weather year-round, with December to February being the hottest and busiest months, coinciding with Brazil’s famous Carnival season. For milder temperatures and fewer crowds, April to June and September to November are excellent times to visit, offering ideal conditions to experience Brazil’s incredible diversity.
