Getting to Brazil by Air
Main gateways for Brazil are São Paulo (more business) and Rio de Janeiro (more tourism). From these cities you can make connections to anywhere in the country, as well as to other countries in South America. Both São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have 2 airports each, an International one and a National one. Some northern locations such as Manaus and Recife do have also direct flights from the United States and Europe.

Brazil Climate and Weather
There are five climatic regions in Brazil: equatorial, tropical, semi-arid, highland tropical and subtropical. The seasons are the reverse of those in Europe and the United States. Cities such as Sao Paulo and Brasilia, on the plateau, have a mild climate with temperatures averaging 66°F (19°C). Rio de Janeiro, Recife, Natal and Salvador on the coast have warmer climates.
