What to expect in Cabo Frio in March
Editor's tip
March brings fall to Cabo Frio. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Highs reach 31 °C (88 °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. Rain, when it comes, is usually brief and does not spoil the day. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Carnival in Cabo Frio into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
