Pick Brazil 🇧🇷 if you're going in…
January, February, June, July, August, December
Carnival prices triple — book accommodation 9+ months ahead or skip.
Pick Japan 🇯🇵 if you're going in…
April, October
Book sakura-week accommodation in Kyoto 6+ months ahead — and budget for ~2x normal rates. If you miss the cherry blossom window, head to Hokkaido in early May where the sakura peaks 4–5 weeks later.
