What to expect in Chapada Diamantina in October
Editor's tip
October is spring in Chapada Diamantina. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Highs reach 32 °C (90 °F): the heat calls for early starts, sunscreen, and spending the middle of the day in the shade or in the water. 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. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Lençóis Festival (Festival de Lençóis) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
