Brazil in July - packing?

Question

Hello! I am going to Brazil in a week for a grad school class and am faced with packing for the trip. I will be there for two weeks. I will be in Vitoria, Sao Paulo and Rio (Rio is only one day of sightseeing). In Vitoria and Sao Paulo I will be visiting companies and doing some sight-seeing. What types of clothes should I pack? Is it going to be cold/hot there during that time (7/5-12). Are companies generally business professional or casual? As a woman, is there any added safety precautions I should take? Etc. Thanks!!

Answer 1

bring casual and business

Answer 2

July is winter here in Brazil,so advice you to bring some warm clothes because although the day could be hot it get colder at night.

Answer 3

It is going to be VERY hot. Bring shorts and T-shirts for when you're not working.  Also bring a swimsuit to cool off in the ocean while in RIo. I would reccomend business clothes for your work. Wear a black pencil skirt with a colored blouse. Also, keep your purse in a safe place =)
