Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: flip this switch on and Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- turn it off again any time, or reveal the real photo for just one place at a time from its own page.

Brazil Climate Patterns

Changed

Brazil's enormous size gives it several distinct climate zones. The Amazon region is equatorial -- hot and humid year-round with no real dry season.

Most of the coast has a tropical climate with a hot, humid summer, while the south has a more temperate, four-season climate with genuinely cool winters.

The Pantanal follows a wet season (November-March), when the wetlands flood, and a dry season (April-October), when wildlife-viewing becomes dramatically easier -- exactly opposite the coastal beach season's own peak.
