Some Interesting Destinations to Travel in 2024:
Despite not having many holidays in 2024, if you plan ahead, you can travel to enjoy some famous national events.
Carnival has already passed, so let’s focus on the next date that attracts families to Pernambuco, Sergipe, Rio Grande do Norte, and even Pará: the June Festival.
The best cities to visit are:
Olinda and Caruaru, in Pernambuco, around the dates close to June 24.
In Sergipe, the most famous choice is the city of Aracaju.
Campina Grande, in Paraíba, is also one of the best destinations to enjoy one of the largest June Festivals in the world.
On September 7, Brazil’s Independence Day, we recommend traveling to enjoy the Independence Parade that takes place every year in Brasília, DF.
However, if you prefer to use this time for a more relaxing trip, since the holiday falls on a Saturday, destinations like Gramado in Rio Grande do Sul and Caldas Novas in Goiás may be the right choice for you.
The holiday of Our Lady of Aparecida in October brings countless faithful to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Aparecida, located in Aparecida, SP.
The pilgrimage takes place in the week of the 12th and is a great option for those who want to get closer to God.
Finally, Christmas and New Year are the most awaited dates of the year for many people; coastal destinations in the country such as Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Maceió are our recommendations for enjoying the year-end festivities.
