August in Rio is technically winter, which means fewer people and cheaper accommodation.

In comparison to the rest of Canada, Vancouver is essentially toasty this time of year. Filled with winter markets, ice skating rinks, boat parades and other festivals, the holiday season is an excellent time to visit (hotels are surprisingly cheap during the winter months). It's also the perfect base for those into winter sports, as Vancouver offers epic powder on nearby slopes like Whistler, dog-sledding, hiking, and both helicopter and sleigh rides.
