  • Lunch Break 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM on Fridays).

  • Lunch Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM.
  • Pro Tip Mornings can start slowly; the most productive time for calls is between 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM. Avoid scheduling anything critical for Friday afternoon, as many locals begin their weekend travel early. Brazilians value personal warmth; always include a friendly greeting.
