Detalles a la llegada
The weather in this part of Minas Gerais state is defined by the rainy season and the dry (less rainy) season. Normally, the rains come in October, November and last through April. Daytime temperatures will be in the range of 25C - 35C with cooler nights (22C - 26C). The rainforest is alive with activity during this time. Mornings are usually clear and if there's rain on the way it will cloud over as the day goes on, with rain and sometimes thunder in the afternoon. After a short sharp storm, the sun will often reappear, and although you may get wet you won't get too cold! Don’t forget your waterproof jacket! By contrast, the dry season is cooler - temperatures can drop to around 10C at night and you'll need a fleece. Daytime temperatures are normally around 18C-26C
You are welcome to visit year-round, since there is no lack of projects for you to join. The rainy season – October through May – is when you’ll see nature at its most exuberant, while the dry season (June through September) has cooler nights with sunny days. Every season has its charm.
