Vacation in Brazil: More than just Caipirinha and Samba
When you hear the word Brazil, do you think of Caipirinha, carnival, and samba ? Then it's time to expand this image with a vacation in Brazil.

Come along and find out what else the country in South America has in store for you besides coffee, samba, and football!
Arrival and Entry into Brazil
To get to Brazil, book a long-haul flight. The most important airports are in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. A direct flight from Miami to Rio takes 11 hours.
To enter Brazil, you need a passport. A tourist visa will be required for US citizens entering Brazil beginning April 10, 2025.
Weather, Climate, and Best Time to Travel
Since Brazil is very large, there is no uniform recommendation for the best months to travel. On average, maximum temperatures of over 80 degrees can often be expected in summer, and in winter the temperatures rarely fall below 50 degrees. The climate is tropical to subtropical. When you travel, please note that the seasons there are different to those here. When it is winter in the US, it is summer in Brazil.
