Flight time
The flight from Auckland to Brazil takes roughly 16.5 hours with a stopover, but the energy of this country will wake you up as soon as you land.
Brazil is pure energy... from its golden beaches to its lush rainforests and electrifying cities, this country is all about having a good time.
Feel the rhythm of Rio as you watch the sunset over Copacabana Beach or stand in awe at the 30-metre high Christ the Redeemer statue that dominates the skyline.
Venture deep into the Amazon to immerse yourself in ancient flora that’s remained unchanged for millions of years; experience the pulse of Bahia, where Afro-Brazilian culture and dazzling carnivals bring the streets alive - and indulge in sizzling churrasco, tropical açai bowls, light airy cheese bread and refreshing caipirinhas till you can eat and drink no more.
Whether you’re dancing the night away, exploring breathtaking landscapes, or soaking up the local vibe, Brazil is a feast for all your senses, all at once.

October and November offer Brazil’s best weather without the crowds. If you're after sun, sand, and Carnival energy, plan your trip between December and March, but expect the masses!
Brazil is between 14 and 16 hours behind New Zealand, depending on Daylight Saving, but if you make like the locals and hit the ground partying, it won't be so bad.
