Brazil

Brazil car rental

With stunningly vibrant city centres, popular beaches and lush rainforests, Brazil is a mix of modernity with natural surroundings. The Amazon Rainforest is an incredible place to visit, especially if you’re trekking and staying a few nights at camps. The cities are loud and full of life, and that’s where car rental in Brazil comes into play. For Canadian travelers, compare car rental before you arrive to seek out the best prices.

Canadians must pay $117 on arrival into the airport and Americans must pay a tax as well, however other nationalities are exempt. Flights are available direct from Toronto to Sao Paulo and with exceptional road links, car rental allows you to get many places within just a few hours’ driving.

Tourists’ favorites

A trip to Brazil without seeing the Amazon River would be crazy, so that is a must-do when you’re staying. If you’re arriving for Carnival season, then Rio de Janeiro is the best place and has many shopping, cultural and religious attractions to see also.

Helicopter rides, sunbathing on the beaches and visiting luxury restaurants are also among Canadians’ favorites in Brazil, while the Iguaco Falls and the Pantanal wetlands should also be high on tourists’ priority lists.

Best time to visit

If you’re staying in the north, expect hot sunshine and frequent downpours, particularly in the Amazon, as well as a humidity level that will shock you. Towards the south, there are cooler climates, with fresher night times and a less extreme heat, although staying hydrated is vitally important at any time of the year. The seasons are well pronounced unless you’re in the south.
