After the Fiesta Carnival begins in Brazil the "low season". It's time to take advantage of good prices and quiet on the beaches during the summer are being overwhelmed by mass tourism. However, it is also good to pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of traveling at this time of year.
What months are for the offseason?
While there are destinations such as Salvador de Bahia or Rio de Janeiro, where year-round tourist flow is very important. In general, most of the destinations and mostly due to massive internal tourism, there are peaks huge influx of tourists in New Year and Carnival, and to a lesser extent in the month of January and February after falling tourist traffic exponentially playing floor around May, the season improvement by July due to European and North American tourism and then with some ups and downs remains a small number of tourists to December.
Saving these point mutations can say that the season in Brazil is generally between March and December.
Where to go in low season?
In southern Brazil the best month of the season to visit is March, especially since the month after the temperatures begin to drop. They are also good months December and November.
In the north however, because the slightest chance of rain, the best months are usually from August to December. In certain destinations in southern Bahia, Arraial d'Ajuda, Trancoso and Porto Seguro, the months before the summer but tend to be somewhat windy. Interestingly however for those who want to practice water sports like kite surfing.
In regions of Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo the weather stays warm until May or June, but at night temperatures can drop quite a bit about everything going into the winter. This is offset by moderate cold considering that the statistical probability of rain is reduced enough in those months and even more in winter, the northern coast of Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo coast can be a good option for those who wish to travel in those months.
Benefits of traveling to Brazil in "season":
Cheapest flights: By reducing the number of potential travelers, prices tend to drop substantially.
Also cheaper accommodation: The accommodation prices are greatly reduced during the low season, while the availability of rooms in guesthouses and hotels during the peak season (dates close to New Year and Carnival) is usually very limited, season and in the popular destinations there is plenty of rooms available, forcing the owners of inns at considerably lower prices to compete for the few tourists who arrive at the destination. Very important in this regard is to negotiate prices for many days, during low season inn owners are willing to significantly reduce rates by ensuring a minimum length of stay. The prices in this way become very convenient for stays of 7, 10, 15 or 30 days.
Tranquility on the beaches: The beaches themselves are overcrowded in high season by mass tourism become lonely and quiet in the offseason, it makes traveling in low season is especially ideal for couples seeking peace and quiet, or who want to disconnect completely.
The low season is also ideal for locations where it is important to contact with the more direct nature: while in high season is the most common one is in a rather remote beach and apparently enjoying quiet nature, and from time to time it is invaded by tourists in droves with several buses brought by tourism.
In high season is also common to have to queue at some restaurants are known for their good price / quality, low season there will be tables available in the best bars and restaurants of fate.
Disadvantages of traveling to Brazil to "season":
Cold weather in the South, rain in the Northeast: One of the main disadvantages of traveling to Brazil in low season can be the weather.
In this regard the South as of May gets a little cold for what is expected of beach vacation.
The North East on the other hand, while maintaining relatively high temperatures throughout the year from March and April begins to gradually increase the chances of rain until at least August. This does not mean you can not have good weather in those months, but statistically the chances of rain are higher.
Excessive quietness and little turmoil: What some can be a problem for others it can be clearly against during offseason there is not the number of parties or events, or number of tourists, even remotely the turmoil of the season, if you are looking for fun and party-season may not be the best option.
However, for those wishing to also fun and parties in low season in June quiet many destinations (especially from Bay and throughout the rest of the Northeast) become agitated during a week with the traditional festivities of São João, almost like a carnival in winter.
