Tours to São Paulo

When you hear the word "Brazil," the vibrant colors of a sizzling carnival already ignite your imagination. Let's explore this unmatched country together! We can assist you in finding the best hot tour to São Paulo.

An exhilarating vacation awaits in one of Brazil's largest metropolises when you choose to book a trip to São Paulo. It's the destination for those who relish nightlife, outdoor activities, and perpetual summer.

The weather forecast is ideal for sun worshippers. Picture this – the resort's temperature never drops below 20°C. The only exception is the 'Brazilian' winter, when the thermometer may dip to 17°C with occasional brief rains. It's often considered that the summer months aren't the optimal time to travel to Brazil.

However, it's precisely during this period that you can find the most affordable accommodations in the metropolis. Many hotels significantly reduce their prices to attract travelers during the low tourist season.

For instance, a bed in the most budget-friendly hostel can be as low as $10 USD. Affordable rooms in two-star hotels start at around $25 USD.

The economical lodging options for a São Paulo tour are offset by the higher ticket prices. A round-trip flight to the resort can cost approximately $1,000 USD per person.

But hot deals with upcoming departure dates can substantially lower the advertised cost of your long-awaited São Paulo tour. To ensure you don't miss out on the best offers, subscribe to tripmydream's newsletter now.
