What to expect in Canela in May
Editor's tip
May brings fall to Canela. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Lows hover around 10.3 °C (51 °F), so a heavy coat and cold-weather clothing are essential, especially at night. Crowds sit somewhere in the middle, with peaks on public holidays. Outside those dates, you can enjoy the place at an easy pace and spend less. Rain, when it comes, is usually brief and does not spoil the day.
