What to expect in Cabo Frio in July

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

July is the heart of winter in Cabo Frio. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 26 °C (79 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. It is one of the busiest times of the year: the destination fills up, rates go up and the best hotels sell out early. Book ahead or choose weekdays. It also rains very little: this is one of the driest months of the year, good for anyone who wants an outdoor itinerary.
