Best time to visit Brazil
Brazil is such a vast country with regional weather conditions. However, most of Brazil sits in the tropics and remains warm year-round, meaning you can travel to Brazil throughout the year. The best time to visit the south of the country is between March and November, and in the north and east August to February are typically the drier months of the year. If you’re hoping to spot wildlife, both the Pantanal and the Amazon can be visited throughout the year. But the absolute best time to visit the Amazon is in July and August, and in the Pantanal the best opportunity to see animals is during the dry season which runs from April / May to October.
