How we write.

  • Written by people who work here. Articles come from the AMTOURS team in São Paulo and the guides who run our trips.
  • Checked before publishing. Practical details such as seasons, distances and opening times are checked against official sources.
  • Dated and updated. Every article shows its publication date, and we revise the ones that change, such as event calendars.
  • Independent advice. We recommend places because they suit our travellers, not because they pay to be featured.
What is the AMTOURS blog about?

The AMTOURS blog publishes travel guides, practical tips and ideas for experiencing Brazil: destinations, nature and wildlife, culture and festivals, and planning corporate events and incentive trips in the country.

Who writes the articles?

The articles are written by the team of AMTOURS DMC Brasil, a destination management company based in São Paulo that has organised travel and events across Brazil since 2000.

When is the best time to visit Brazil?

Brazil can be visited all year, but the best season depends on the region. The Pantanal is best in the dry season, roughly from July to October, for wildlife. Rio de Janeiro is pleasant from April to June and from August to November. Carnival takes place in February or early March.

How many days do I need for a first trip to Brazil?

For a first visit, ten to fourteen days allow you to combine two or three regions, for example Rio de Janeiro, Iguaçu Falls and the Amazon or the Pantanal. Brazil is very large, so most trips between regions need domestic flights.
