With the potential for prices to drop during this period, it’s a great opportunity for those travelling on a budget to enjoy the best that Rio has to offer without breaking the bank.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Rio de Janeiro, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals section on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches.

  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Rio de Janeiro hotel.
