What to expect in Arraial do Cabo in March
Editor's tip
March brings fall to Arraial do Cabo. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 29 °C (84 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. Crowds are light, which tends to work in favor of travelers: shorter lines, more peace and quiet, and cheaper lodging. Rain, when it comes, is usually brief and does not spoil the day. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Carnival in Arraial do Cabo into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
