Planning a trip to Brazil
Pulled from the 2 routes below — so it says what these itineraries actually do, not what a brochure would.
When to go
Sep–Nov — the months these routes agree on. Apr–Jun are split — some routes here call them prime and others say avoid, because they cover different parts of the country and those do not share a season.
How long you need
9–10 days. The shortest is Bahia in 9 days: Salvador, the turtles and Morro de São Paulo; the longest is Brazil in 10 days: Rio, Iguaçu and Paraty.
What it costs
≈ AED 700 to ≈ AED 750 per person per day, depending on the route. Beds, food, getting around and things to do — costed line by line in each guide, not estimated from a daily rate.
Entry on an Indian passport
Embassy or consulate in advance, 90 days. Checked 2026-11 against Wikipedia’s compilation of IATA Timatic entries. Entry rules depend on your passport and where you live, and they change with little notice — confirm with the embassy or your airline before you book. Check another country.
Where these routes go: Salvador · Praia do Forte · Morro de São Paulo · Boipeba · Rio de Janeiro · Paraty · Iguaçu.

Best for: Afro-Brazilian Salvador, then islands with no cars on them
Bahia in 9 days: Salvador, the turtles and Morro de São Paulo
Salvador → Praia do Forte → Morro de São Paulo → Boipeba → Salvador
Four days of Salvador's Pelourinho, capoeira and candomblé, a turtle project on the coast north, then two car-free islands reached by catamaran. The crossing that makes people sick, the safety rules locals actually follow, and why Carnival here is nothing like Rio's.

Best for: Beaches + waterfalls
Brazil in 10 days: Rio, Iguaçu and Paraty
Rio de Janeiro → Paraty → Iguaçu
The greatest city setting on earth, a colonial port between rainforest and sea, and a waterfall system you hear before you see: Christ above Rio's beaches, Paraty's cobbles and schooner islands, and Iguaçu from the panoramic side — with the honest safety brief, the distances, and why Carnival changes every number in this guide.
