Visiting South America is an exciting prospect, with its vibrant, passionate culture; the music, dancing, and fabulous beaches. The continent has some of the world's most exciting cities, rainforests, jungles, and mountains.

Rio de Janeiro

Weather

The weather never gets cold in Rio. The rainy season is from October to January, and temperatures can drop to 23C. The humid climate reaches 28C in the summer.

The airport in Rio serves flights from all of Latin America, Brazil, and beyond. Long distance buses depart from Novo Rio Rodoviaria. Getting around the city can be a little uncomfortable on the often-crowded buses. For a cooler option try the air-conditioned subway, which covers part of the city.
