Brazil Travel Guide

Brazil's scale means most visitors pick a region rather than attempting the whole country — Rio de Janeiro's beaches and mountains, the Amazon in the north, and Iguazu Falls on the Argentine border are each substantial trips on their own.

Best time to visit

September to November, or April to June, sit outside Rio's hottest, most crowded summer (December–February) and Carnival season, unless that's specifically the draw.

Christ the Redeemer looks out over a city wedged between mountains and the Atlantic, where Copacabana and Ipanema's beaches sit a short walk from the forested slopes of Tijuca National Park.
