What to expect in Diamantina in April

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

April brings fall to Diamantina. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 24.6 °C (76 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. 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 Holy Week (Semana Santa) or Vesperata into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
