What to expect in Búzios in March

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

March brings fall to Búzios. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 28 °C (82 °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 Búzios into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
