What to expect in Bonito in August

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

August is the heart of winter in Bonito. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Highs reach 30 °C (86 °F): the heat calls for early starts, sunscreen, and spending the middle of the day in the shade or in the water. Crowds are light, which tends to work in favor of travelers: shorter lines, more peace and quiet, and cheaper lodging. It also rains very little: this is one of the driest months of the year, good for anyone who wants an outdoor itinerary. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Bonito Winter Festival (Festival de Inverno de Bonito) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
