Brazil Winter Holidays

Brazil’s summer season may seem like the most obvious time to visit, however there are plenty of pursuits that are better suited to the country’s winter months. Our travel experts can craft Brazil winter holidays that take place from May to September, which have the added benefit of avoiding the scorching summer climate (up to 40°C in some regions) and throngs of tourists. If windsurfing is your thing, the region of São Miguel do Gostos and the city of Fortaleza are the best spots, with July to February offering the optimal wind conditions. Wildlife watching opportunities are at their best during winter, and heading to the Pantanal or the Amazon from May to September avoids the rainy season. Add Santa Catarina or Florianopolis to your itinerary between July and November for the chance to spot migrating whales and their young calves.

If you do fancy fleeing the plummeting temperatures of the UK, Brazil winter holidays can take the form of a winter sun escape if you travel between October and April. Brazil’s beaches are one of the country’s best features and a sure-fire way to forget about winter back at home, while Rio’s iconic Carnival takes place between February and March (providing the perfect excuse to pack your bags and join the spectacular festivities). If the thought of spending Christmas and New Year in the warmth is appealing, plan your trip for this time of year and take part in the lively yuletide traditions.
