What people love about Brazil Tours in January
- Best of Brazil
Luma was amazing. The trip was basic, but she made the trip
- Brazil Carnival Full Experience 6D/5N (Rio de Janeiro)
Great experience, staff always helpful and caring. Good range of activities.
- Amazon Jungle - 4 Days
It was absolutely great. We saw so much of the jungle, so many different animals! And the guide showed us so much we would not have seen being on our own. Thank you very very much! To visit the Amazonas was a dream of my youth and the dream became true.
What our customers ask about Brazil Tours in January 2026
What weather can I expect in Brazil during January?
January brings summer temperatures between 25-35°C (77-95°F) across Brazil. Rio de Janeiro sees hot humid days ideal for beach time at Copacabana and Ipanema. Visitors to Iguazu Falls should plan for tropical conditions with quick afternoon rain showers that often clear up quickly. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The weather was perfect for enjoying Rio's beaches and outdoor attractions though afternoon rain showers at Iguazu Falls added to the mystical atmosphere."
What are the main events and festivals in Brazil during January?
January kicks off Brazil's festival season with pre-Carnival celebrations filling Rio de Janeiro's streets. Visitors can join local samba school rehearsals at the Sambadrome and experience street parties across the city. In Salvador the Feast of Lemanjá draws thousands to Copacabana Beach on January 2nd for traditional ceremonies honoring the sea goddess. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned "The energy during pre-Carnival in Rio was electric - watching the samba schools practice at the Sambadrome was a highlight of my trip."
What kind of accommodation options are available in Brazil during January?
The peak summer season offers accommodations ranging from high-end beachfront properties like the Belmond Copacabana Palace to rustic Amazon stays at places like the Tapiri Floating Lodge. One TourRadar traveler recommended: "The Copacabana Mar Hotel had perfect beach access and air conditioning for January heat." Book well ahead as January fills up quickly across all price points.
What are the best beaches to visit in Brazil during January?
Rio's famous Copacabana and Ipanema beaches draw the biggest crowds with the Fasano Rio hotel providing direct beach access. Those seeking quieter spots can head to Barra da Tijuca or Leme beaches nearby. One TourRadar traveler commented: "Ipanema Beach was less touristy than Copacabana with great waves and atmosphere in January."
Is January a good time to visit the Amazon rainforest in Brazil?
The Amazon's rainy season in January creates unique viewing opportunities. Daily showers raise water levels allowing boats to venture deeper into the jungle from bases like the Amazon Turtle Lodge. The wet season concentrates wildlife around waterways making animal spotting easier. A TourRadar traveler shared: "Despite some rain our January Amazon tour was amazing - the lush vegetation and active wildlife made it unforgettable."
What is the price range for Brazil tours in January?
Expect to pay between 600 USD for basic Amazon excursions up to 4000 USD for multi-city packages during peak January season. Popular options like the 10-day Argentina and Brazil combination tour average 2899 USD per person. As one TourRadar reviewer noted: "The January pricing was higher but the perfect weather and festive atmosphere made it worth the investment."
