Best time to go to Brazil
Brazil is a large country with several climate zones. It's usually helpful to consider a two-season pattern for the North and the Northeast coast, or for te Amazon, that is, a rain and dry season.
But that's not the case in Sao Paulo, or further south. Here we should consider a four season weather pattern (though cold weather spells are uncommon, and restricted).
These and other factors, should be considered when visiting Brazil. The most popular times are not necessarily the best time to go. An example: the best time to visit the Amazon Is the the driest months (June to September, in Manaus) though most people visit the Amazon during the hotter and rainiest time: January, February and March.
