The best time to visit the second city of Brazil

If you want to enjoy the carnival, you will have to travel in February or March.

Rio enjoys a humid tropical climate: it is more or less warm and humid throughout the year. As in most tropical countries, there are only two seasons in Rio: the so-called dry season and the rainy season.

The dry season is the best time to discover Rio , especially between October and early December and between March and May to avoid the heat (around 25 ° C) and avoid rain and thunderstorms.

However, during the rainy season carnival is celebrated (in February or March, depending on the year). During the rainy season, temperatures can rise above 35 ° C and heavy rains fall on the city regularly.

However, it does not rain all day, so if your dream is to discover the carnival, you will have to endure the rain, like a real carioca.

Allow about 4 days to visit the different neighborhoods of the city of Rio . However, it would be foolish not to enjoy the trip to take some samba lessons, watch liner shows, or just relax on the beach.
