Cheapest and Most Expensive Times to Visit Brazil

Most Expensive Time to Visit Brazil

The most expensive times align with the best weather for each region and major national events.

• Rio de Janeiro & Coastal Southeast – Summer & Carnival (December to March)
  Hot, sunny weather fills beaches like Copacabana and Ipanema. Carnival (usually February or March) is the most expensive week of the year, with hotel rates in Rio sometimes tripling.
• Amazon Rainforest – Dry Season (June to September)
  Lower river levels make jungle trails more accessible, attracting eco-tourists. Lodges in Manaus and along the Rio Negro are at their highest prices.
• Pantanal Wetlands – Dry Season (May to September)
  Best wildlife viewing season brings higher demand for guided tours and lodges in Cuiabá and Corumbá.
• Southern Brazil (São Paulo, Florianópolis, Porto Alegre) – Summer Holidays (December to February)
  Beaches in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul fill with both domestic and international travelers.

Cheapest Time to Visit Brazil (Low Season)

The cheapest times are when weather is less favorable for the region’s main attractions.

• Rio & Coastal Southeast – Winter (May to September)
  Cooler weather (but still mild) means fewer beachgoers and lower hotel rates, except in July school holidays.
• Amazon – Wet Season (December to May)
  Heavy rain increases humidity and mosquito levels. River flooding limits walking tours but is great for boat-based exploration. Lodges often discount heavily.
• Pantanal – Wet Season (November to March)
  Wildlife viewing is more difficult, and flooding can limit access to certain areas, lowering demand and prices.

Best Time to Visit Brazil on a Budget (Shoulder Season)

For good weather and smaller crowds, consider these months:

• April to Early June (Most Regions) – End of rainy season in the Amazon and Pantanal, pleasant weather on the coast, and lower prices before the July rush.
• September to Early November – Spring temperatures and flowering landscapes, with better hotel and flight deals than summer high season.
