Brazil is the place to be in March as their infamous Carnival takes place early in the month. Hotel and flight prices are typically high during March as crowds flock to the area to enjoy the annual festivities. However, you can still find a bargain if you plan ahead and book your flight in advance.
Budget travelers can still do well here if they stay inland from the beaches or even in the city center area. Despite the frequent rain in March, in Rio is located in the Tropics so rain storms come in the late afternoon and leave quickly.
