Summer vacation are already on in the northern hemisphere. If you’re willing to provide collective vacations for employees to enjoy good leisure time – and, of course, an unforgettable trip –, as part of a fruitful incentive campaign, this is the best time of the year, when schools are closed and companies operates at slow pace. If the matter is summer vacations, it is impossible not to think about heading to a paradise destination, with crystal clear waters, white sand and plenty of rest (and some excitement, if you wish!). In the southern hemisphere, especially in Brazil, the tropical weather favors good stays by the sea throughout most of the year.
The Brazilian summer runs from the end of December to the end of March, but even during the northern hemisphere summer vacations period (early June to late September), it is possible to enjoy high temperatures throughout the Brazilian coast. In the northeast region, above all, the climate is favorable in an almost perennial way, with short and often sporadic wet periods, which in general do not interfere with the good use of the holidays.
When is the Brazilian summer break?
One of the most important things to know when traveling, studying, or working in Brazil is to keep in mind the sanctity of the Brazilian summer vacation, or férias de verão. For students, the break can last from mid, or even early December, to February, and adults typically take a holiday during this time of year. Parts of the federal government shut down from Christmas through the beginning of February, like the Supreme Court. Depending on when Carnival falls, things usually start up again shortly after.
Doing business in January and February in Brazil is akin to doing business in the US in July or August. Many people are out of the office, and projects tend to move a bit more slowly until after Carnival. When studying in Brazil, this means that classes do not start until February or even March, and that January is a convenient time to travel between semesters.
