You can explore the Amazon jungle, trek the deserts and get lost in the huge cities of the south. Tourism in Brazil is a key sector that has been growing over the past few years and is one of the main revenue streams helping the country recover from the economic downturn of 2008-2009. Brazil welcomes over 6 million (6,621,376) tourists in 2019 and the government aims to double the amount of tourists by 2022. One of the most effective policies is expected to be a decree that removes visa requirements for citizens of the US, Japan, Australia and Canada to enter Brazil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Brazil is a huge country (the 5th largest in the world), so planning a vacation here can be a challenge. It almost always includes domestic flights if you plan to visit more than one place, and each region has different customs, important events, and even weather that you should be aware of. When traveling to Brazil, it is recommended that you contact a local Brazilian travel agency to help you plan your vacation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The time you decide to visit Brazil is sure to have a big impact on your vacation in several ways. First of all, remember that Brazil is in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are reversed compared to Europe. When it's summer in Europe, it's winter in Brazil and vice versa. Also, some regions in Brazil (such as the Amazon regions in the north) have heavy rainy seasons. Depending on your choice of activities, rain may affect your trip. For example, if you need to go bird watching in the Amazon, it is better to go right after the rainy season so that the water levels are high and you are closer to the nesting birds. It also means you have more access to the forest through the \u201c\u00edgarap\u00e9s\u201d which are water rivers penetrating the forest. If you want to explore the beaches of the river delta, however, you'll need to go in the middle of the dry season. Therefore, it is important to inform yourself when is the best time to go to Brazil.<\/p>\r\n
