Brazil may be the largest country in South America, home to over half of the Amazon rainforest, but it’s not just a giant in size. In Brazil, the music is louder, the beaches longer, the wildlife more wild, and someone, somewhere is always throwing a party. October is an ideal time for a holiday in Brazil: it’s the shoulder season, just as winter turns into spring, the cities are still bustling, but not with the levels of crowding you’ll see in peak season, and temperatures are a pleasant 25-30 degrees Celsius, much better for exploring than the sweltering summer. Let our experts plan your Brazil October holiday, making the most of their insider knowledge to ensure it’s the trip of a lifetime.

"The accommodation perfectly matched our needs, and we loved the app, destination document, playlist and reading list. Our Concierge was really responsive and quick, and the Original Services were absolutely perfect - these are both reasons why we would come back to Original Travel. There were a few specific memorable moments, including a music and dance show and bike trip in Salvador, a football match in Rio and the lovely hotel in Buzios. Thank you so much for a memorable holiday!"

"This was truly the trip of a lifetime - really personalised service, brilliant itinerary, seamlessly organised, and the app and Concierges were so useful. We loved it all. The local guides were also brilliant and we learnt so much from them all. The gifted football tickets (plus driver and guide) on our first night were so special and something we have never had from any other tour company. All in all, a 10/10, 5-star experience! Thank you all."

Here are just a few of the many adventures you might enjoy on your tailor-made Brazil October holiday:

See the stunning Iguazu falls

Who needs Niagra? This epic waterfall is actually made up of 275 waterfalls that stretch over a mile and a half, surrounded by lush green jungle. It’s so stunning that it’s been made a UNESCO World Heritage site. Either take a day trip or stay overnight in one of our favourite hotels nearby to truly make the most of the beautiful surroundings.

Experience a Brazilian take on Oktoberfest

You’ve almost certainly heard of Rio Carnival, Brazil’s infamous street party held in February every year. But did you know that you can also enjoy a famous party on a Brazil October holiday? Brazil is home to Oktoberfest Blumenau, the world’s second largest Oktoberfest celebration – that’s right, the German beer festival. I guess in Brazil, any excuse for a party will do.

Go beach hopping on Ilha Grande

Ilha Grande is an island near Rio de Janeiro with an unusual history. First it was a pirate's lair, then a leper colony, and then a penitentiary. Lucky for us, its unsavory past means that it’s been left alone by developers, so today’s travellers can enjoy an untouched paradise just an hour from bustling Rio.
