Brazil Holidays
south & central america
Rio de Janeiro is home to the world famous Copacabana beach, iconic Sugarloaf Mountain and the towering Christ the Redeemer statue, whilst the colourful Rio Carnival takes place each February or March.
Rich in biodiversity, the Amazon Rainforest is a must on any holiday to Brazil. Spend a few days in a jungle lodge or aboard an Amazon Cruise for fantastic wildlife viewing opportunities. The vast Pantanal Wetlands provides wonderful wildlife experiences including an opportunity to spot the elusive jaguar.
Straddling the border with Argentina lies the epic Iguassu Falls, and with a coastline stretching over 4,600 miles, Brazil also boasts a wide array of beaches; from deserted white sands to lively city beaches and from rocky coves to luxury resorts.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT BRAZIL?
The best time to visit Brazil varies dramatically by region. Rio de Janeiro experiences warmer but wetter weather during the summer months of October-April and Rio de Janeiro Carnival takes place in February or March each year.
The Amazon and Pantanal’s wet season runs from November/December to April/May when flooded waterways offers more opportunities for water based activities, whilst the dry seasons bring greater opportunities to see wildlife lazing along the riverbank.

Brazil Top Tips From Our Travel Experts
Elliott Fisher
The Friday night street party in Rio's Lapa district is an absolute must! It's sure to be a fun filled night of getting to know the friendly locals and dancing along to live samba beats.
Ciaran Brady
Take a few days to chill out on the stunning Ilha Grande. Make sure to get out and exlpore the island, taking a moderate trek from Abraao to the amazing Lopes Mendes Beach is a great little day out.
Dave Biffen
If visiting Iguassu Falls, consider upgrading to the fabulous Belmond Das Cataratas hotel. This historic property overlooks the Brazilian side of the falls, and gives unrivalled access to the site after hours. There's something very special about taking in one of the great natural wonders of the world with just a few squirrels for company....
