Opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen. A mix of shorts, t-shirts, and sundresses should do the trick. Don’t forget a swimsuit and cover-up for those beach days.

Do you need a Visa?
When you go to Brazil, you most likely need a visa, which you can get from a Brazilian embassy or consulate in your home country.
Here’s the good news: If you’re from a Mercosur country, you don’t need a visa, just your passport or ID.
For everyone else, visas can be granted for different purposes like tourism, business, or even if you’re coming for a sports competition. Most visitor visas let you stay for 90 days.
Not sure what visa you need?
Contact the Brazilian consulate or embassy closest to you.
