How about a trip to Brazilian rainforest
A Brief Summary
While certainly not a sunshine holiday, if you are going to experience the worlds largest rainforest, you’re best off doing it during the short “dry” season. The river levels during October are at their lowest before the onset of the lengthy rainy season in November. This means while you’ll still travel a considerable amount of time by boat, there will be opportunities to get out and about on dry land and the chances of seeing all sorts of marine life increased, due to the lesser extent of the still enormous river network across the Amazon. Temperatures and humidity are high, but less oppressively so than during the rains where your clothing can stay damp for days on end!

About the Weather
Northern and northwestern Brazil’s climate is one of heat and humidity throughout the year, with no month seeing average temperatures below 30°c by day, or 22°c by night. All months see rain, but these rains are relatively light and showery from Jul to Oct during the sunniest time of year when skies are clear for between 6 and 7 hours a day. The rest of the year sees daily downpours, peaking from Jan to Apr in which sunshine is at a premium with barely 3 hours of it a day, humidity is exceptionally high and the torrential rains last for hours at a time. This is the time when the Amazon and its tributaries flood, raising river levels by several meters, covering huge swathes of previously dry land in gigantic new waterways
