You have the North East of Brazil, Fortaleza, Natal, Recife - but December/January will be busy. This is technically the start of the Brazilian Summer (You are below the equator) and many Brazilians will be on holiday. The weather here is hot, dry and sunny every day during Dec and Jan so pack your summer outfits.

Rio de Janeiro and S

Never forget "the Black pearl of Brazil, Bahia " on your trip to this wonderfull land !

Bahia is situated in the north east and has a 90% 'colored' population, hence the name "black pearl"

I am living here in Salvador (capital of Bahia) for quite some time now, it is a very special colourfull culture and one should really discover it from inside.
And I am always willing to share some vital information
Maybe you want a pickup at Salvador airport to go to your pousada ?
You can always contact me over my site www.basix.cc
