Rio in the northern winter is peak Rio: beach mornings, thunderstorms that clear by evening, and the run-up to Carnival audible from every street corner.
What winter gives you here
- ·Sugarloaf at golden hour, cable car up and the long light down
- ·A Copacabana morning before nine, when the beach is locals only
- ·Street rehearsals in the weeks before Carnival, with a guide who knows which
- ·Dinner in Santa Teresa, then the city lit all the way to the water
