What to expect in Bento Gonçalves in March

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

March brings fall to Bento Gonçalves. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 26.4 °C (80 °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 Bento em Vindima (Harvest Season) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
