Brazil

The largest country in South America, Brazil is so blessed with incredible diversity, variety, colour and charm that is has something to offer virtually every kind of visitor.

Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice; architecture connoisseurs will marvel at the intact colonial towns; hikers can walk for many scenic miles with barely another soul in sight; and for natural history enthusiasts, the Pantanal and Amazon make Brazil one of the planet’s mandatory destinations.

The sheer abundance of flora and fauna to be found in Brazil’s great wildernesses is beyond comparison with practically any other destination on earth. Coupled with a good infrastructure, high quality accommodation and a welcoming population, it has become one of our most popular destinations, and deservedly so.

When to Go

Being so large, Brazil has many climatic zones despite being classified as tropical. In the south it can be really quite cool, while in Amazonia it is hot and humid almost continually. The heaviest rains fall at different times in each region: November to March in the Southeast, December to March in the Centre West, January to April in the North, and April to August on the Northeast coast. The Pantanal is best seen in the dry season, July to October - avoid rainy February. The Amazon’s wettest season is from December to May, the driest month being October.
