Brazil holidays : introduction
Stretching from the Andes to the Atlantic, Brazil contains most of the Amazon jungle, endless beaches, the mighty Iguassu Falls, and the largest wetland in the world, the Pantanal. The country’s sheer size is vital to bear in mind when planning a visit. Brazil buzzes with energy and a sense of fun, which reaches a crescendo every February as Carnival brings everything to a standstill. Brazil is easily combined with Argentina, Chile, or Guyana, and flights to La Paz and Lima make connections with Bolivia and Peru possible.
Climate and when to go
Average temperatures increase from south to north, and humidity can be high especially near the coast. In the Amazon the wettest months are March to May, in the north-east May and June, and in the south December to March. Even in Rio it can get surprisingly cold in July and August, so for guaranteed warmth at this time head for the north-east.
