Firstly, do you know what the high and low season is? As the name suggests, they are the time of year when tourists travel the most, or the time when places are emptiest.

In this sense, high season represents the period when demand is greatest. Although in many destinations this period occurs during the months of December and January, this is not a rule!

In other words, everything will depend on the destination you chose to travel to. But is it worth embarking on trips outside of peak season? After all, what are the positive points of taking advantage of the low season?

Benefits

Certainly the main advantage of choosing the low season is the savings! That is, the prices of tickets, hotels and services are much more affordable during the period when there are fewer tourists circulating.

Furthermore, destinations become emptier and quieter. Therefore, if you are looking for peace and quiet and don't want to wait in line for certain tourist attractions, it is definitely worth traveling in the low season.

Furthermore, there are attractions that may close during this period, depending on the destination chosen. Although the idea of saving and finding empty spaces is tempting, you need to plan for certain obstacles like this.

When we think of Brazil, a tropical country, we know that it is possible to find pleasant weather almost at any time of the year. However, there are some periods that are more favorable for those looking for peace.

That is, depending on the city you choose, there may be more pleasant activities to do during the low season. So, after all, what are the best off-peak trips worth taking here? Check out.

Ouro Preto – Minas Gerais

The city of Ouro Preto is considered a World Heritage Site, making it an excellent option for those who enjoy history and gastronomy. However, it is worth remembering that the region can be busy almost all year round.

Still, there are some months that are more favorable for those who want to visit with peace of mind. The cliché of avoiding school holiday months such as December, January and July, and also Carnival, applies here.

Belém – Pará

If you want to have a unique experience and come into direct contact with indigenous culture, Belém could be the best destination! After all, the capital combines festivities, tradition and gastronomy in a balanced way.

In this region it may also be interesting to avoid the holiday months of December and January and the floods that occur from February to July. Therefore, prefer to visit Belém between August and November.

Pantanal – Mato Grosso do Sul

In addition to looking for a quieter time without crowds, contact with nature can also be essential for those who want to relax. Therefore, Pantanal may be the best choice for off-peak trips.

After all, the region has some of the most beautiful landscapes, as well as being extremely rich in fauna and flora. It's worth looking for a good farm hotel to stay between November and May, always avoiding school holidays.

Fortaleza, ceara

Although the Northeast region offers year-round sunshine and heat, there are some times that are best to visit if you want to avoid crowds. If you are going to Fortaleza, try to schedule your trip between the months of April and November.

However, remember that the feast of São João takes place in July, so avoid that month. Even though this season is considered rainy, you will definitely be able to enjoy the wonderful beaches and unique culture of Fortaleza.

Canela – Rio Grande do Sul

If you want to feel like you're in a German city without even leaving Brazil, it's worth visiting Canela, in Rio Grande do Sul. With chalets, chocolate shops and a mild climate, the city is excellent for couples' trips!

However, as you can probably imagine, its peak season takes place during the winter months between June and August. Therefore, if you are looking for more tranquility and a higher temperature, prefer the hot months.

Bonito – Mato Grosso do Sul

One of the best destinations for those who enjoy ecotourism, Bonito is a nature preservation sanctuary. In fact, if you intend to visit the city, be aware that all tours must be scheduled in advance!

Although it receives visitors all year round, this destination also has a time of year with less tourist traffic. So, if you prefer more tranquility to get to know the city, visit Bonito between May and August.

Armação dos Búzios – Rio de Janeiro

Another option for those looking for off-peak trips in hot weather, the city Armação dos Búzio, or just Búzios, is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Rio de Janeiro. The landscapes are breathtaking!

Even though the high season is during the summer, it is rare to find a cold day in Búzios. Therefore, even during the months of May to August the temperature is pleasant. It's only worth avoiding the month of July during school holidays.
