What to expect in Monte Verde in March

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

March brings fall to Monte Verde. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Lows hover around 13 °C (55 °F), so a heavy coat and cold-weather clothing are essential, especially at night. Crowds are light, which tends to work in favor of travelers: shorter lines, more peace and quiet, and cheaper lodging. It rains fairly often, so keep an indoor plan handy for gray days.
