Brazil Flights and Travel Guide

Book a flight to Brazil and prepare yourself for a country of infinite beauty. Hidden behind unexplored rainforests are calm rivers and lavish land. Travelers booking flights to Brazil with the intention of touring the Amazon - with more than 2.3 million square miles of river and jungle - have loads of options. Entry into the Amazon is available via bus, boat or boarding local Brazil flights to larger cities. 

But there’s more to do in Brazil than just play in the jungle. Book flights to Brazil for the resort areas of Copacabana and Ipanema. Five-star resorts line the sparkling beaches in these fashionista cities where everyone lounges in style and travels in luxury. Book a Brazil flight to Rio de Janeiro – a city so seductive it leaves visitors wanting more. During the city’s Carnaval and New Year, people are in full party mode… a little dancing on the sand isn’t unheard of in Rio... 

Whether Brazil flights take tourists to the jungle or to the beach, there is undoubtedly a good time to be had.

When to Fly to Brazil

Peak season:

Since Brazil lies on the Southern Hemisphere its summer is December through March and winter is from June through September. The best time to book flights to Brazil is from December until Carnaval season; usually in February. However this is also when accommodation and Brazil flights are at their peak. Another popular time to visit is the week of Easter.

Off season:

May to October is winter in Brazil but if you’re looking for a bargain then it’s probably the best time to visit – prices are lower and temperatures are in the upper 70s; much milder than in summer. Travelers looking for cheap flights to Brazil can get lucky during the off-season if plans are made in advance.

Getting Around Brazil

Brazil is a vast country and the best way (but certainly not the cheapest) to get around is by domestic Brazil flights. Most visitors who plan on visiting a few different regions or cities should invest in a Brazil Pass which can be arranged through your travel agent or airline when booking your flights to Brazil.

In the major cities the best, and safest, way to get around is by taxi.

For long-distance travel buses are a good, reliable option and all major cities are linked by bus routes.

Rental cars are available at the airport although driving can be rather frustrating and dangerous at times.

Brazil Insider Information

• Hike through the tropical jungle of the Parque Nacional da Tijuca in Rio. Although it’s located in the city its waterfalls and lush greenery make for a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.
• Take a cable car up 1300ft to Pão de Açúcar or Sugar Loaf and see the most breathtaking views of the entire city beneath you. Then head up Corcovado Mountain and visit the iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer.
• If you’re a soccer buff then you can’t miss a game at the soccer mecca of the world: Maracanã Stadium. With 100,000 passionate fans screaming, dancing and singing, it’ll definitely be a game you’ll never forget.
• Lovers of the great outdoors will enjoy the serenity of kayaking in the Amazon. You can take a guided tour and explore the rainforest, then stop for a meal prepared by the tour’s chef. But if you’d rather get your adrenaline pumping then try hang gliding at 2,624 feet above the city of Rio.
• Invite yourself to the wildest party in the world – Carnaval. Each year the city turns into one big party with thousands participating in the samba parade and dancing till the early hours of the morning.
• Brazil hotels range from the budget-friendly to the ultra-luxurious. If you're planning a trip to Brazil during Carnaval, make sure to book your Rio de Janeiro hotel in advance.
