Discover Brasília
Founded in 1960, Brasilia is a planned city and the current capital of Brazil. It was designed by Oscar Niemeyer who incorporated its modern architecture, parks and gardens.
Brasilia currently sits on a central plateau in Brazil at an elevation of over 3,000 feet! Because of this, it's got a humid subtropical climate with hot, wet summers and mild, dry winters.
The city has many attractions that can be enjoyed throughout the year including the Three Powers Square, housing the Brazilian Congress, Supreme Court and Presidential Palace, and the Metropolitan Cathedral.
The Brasilia National Park is also a must-see when you're visiting - it's got many adventurous hiking trails, with waterfalls and caves waiting to be discovered.
Things to do in Brazil
Thinking of visiting Brazil but unsure where to start? Here are some great activities to include in your trip!
Explore Rio
Get lost in Rio's iconic sights, including the panoramic views from Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain. Relax on the famous beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, and if your visit aligns, witness the vibrant spectacle of Carnival.
The Carnival in Rio de Janeiro doesn't happen on the same exact date every year. Its timing is tied to the Catholic liturgical calendar, specifically to Lent. Carnival officially begins on the Friday before Ash Wednesday and runs until Ash Wednesday at noon. Since Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter Sunday, and Easter's date changes annually.
Visit Iguazu Falls
Become enlightened by the immense power and beauty that nature can possess at Iguazu Falls, one of the world's most spectacular natural wonders. Explore the extensive network of walkways on both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides for incredible perspectives of hundreds of cascading waterfalls.
The falls stretch for nearly 3 kilometres (1.7 miles) and consist of some 275 individual cascades, varying in height from 60 to 82 meters (200 to 269 feet). The sheer volume of water is immense, increasingly so during the wet season.
Explore the Amazon or the Pantanal for Wildlife
Brazil's incredible biodiversity by exploring the Amazon Rainforest for unparalleled jungle experiences and wildlife viewing, or head to the Pantanal, often considered South America's best spot for easily spotting a wide array of animals, including jaguars, toucans, anteaters, tapirs and more.
While the Amazon has a greater overall species diversity, the Pantanal boasts an incredibly high density of large mammals and birds that are more easily seen. You're almost guaranteed to see capybaras, caimans, giant anteaters, giant river otters, various species of deer, and an astonishing array of birds (including the iconic Jabiru stork and Hyacinth Macaw).

Frequently Asked Questions
What language do they speak in Brazil?
The official and by far most widely spoken language in Brazil is Portuguese. While it's the only Portuguese-speaking country in the Americas, there are some differences between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil (Brazilian Portuguese) and that spoken in Portugal (European Portuguese), primarily in pronunciation, vocabulary, and some grammatical structures. However, they are mutually intelligible.
Which season is best to visit Brazil?
Brazil is a huge country with diverse climates, so the "best" season to visit really depends on where you want to go and what you want to do. However, a generally good time to visit many popular areas is during the Brazilian summer, from December to March.
This is peak season, offering hot, sunny weather perfect for beaches, and it includes New Year's Eve and the famous Carnival (usually in February or early March). Be aware that it's also the busiest and most expensive time. These months can offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds and potentially lower prices, though you might encounter some rain.
Is Brazil expensive?
Brazil's cost for visitors can be a mixed bag, and it's generally considered more affordable than many Western European countries (like the UK) or North America, but potentially more expensive than some other Latin American nations.
Eating out, especially at local eateries or street food stalls, is very affordable. A meal at an inexpensive restaurant might cost £3-£8. Groceries are also generally cheaper. High-end restaurants, however, can be comparable to international prices.
Renting an apartment or staying in hotels is considerably cheaper than in major global cities like London or New York. You can find hostels for as little as $7-$15 a night, and mid-range hotels for $50-$100.
Is Brazil safe?
Brazil's safety for tourists is a complex issue. While millions of tourists visit annually without incident and have incredible experiences, it's crucial to acknowledge that crime rates, including violent crime, are higher than in many Western countries.
Major Cities such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador, Recife, and Brasília, while offering incredible attractions, have higher rates of violent crime, including muggings, armed robberies, and carjackings. These can occur day or night.
Favelas (informal housing developments), Travel advisories strongly recommend avoiding all favelas, even with guided tours. The security situation in these areas is unpredictable, with gang-related violence and limited emergency services. Tourists have been shot after accidentally entering favelas.
