Tourism

Sprawling across half of South America, Brazil is the fifth largest country in the world. White-sand beaches, tropical islands, music-filled metropolises and charming colonial towns are dotting its 7,500 km (4,600 mi) long coastline. Inland, Brazil tourist attractions consist of imposing waterfalls, wetlands filled with wildlife, and the untouched wilderness of the Amazon rainforest where several isolated tribes still live without any contact with the rest of the world.

Climate Weather

Due to the varying heights above sea level of the Brazil landscape as well as the proximity to the coast, the climate (and, therefore, vegetation and animal life) varies somewhat from region to region. The climate of Brazil varies considerably mostly from tropical north (the equator traverses the mouth of the Amazon) to temperate zonessouth of the Tropic of Capricorn (23°26' S latitude). Temperatures below the equator are high, averaging above 25 °C (77 °F), but not reaching the summer extremes of up to 40 °C (104 °F) in the temperate zones. There is little seasonal variation near the equator, although at times it can get cool enough to need to wear a jacket, especially in the rain. Average temperatures below the Capricorn Tguspic are mild, ranging from 13 °C (55 °F) to 22 °C (72 °F).

Required clothing

Brazil is in the Southern Hemisphere, so December through March is the hottest time and June through September is cooler. Even in the cooler months, though, many parts of the country will have temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. You'll mostly need hot-weather items like shorts and tank tops, but will also want a pair of long pants and a jacket during cooler months.
