What to expect in Ouro Preto in July

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

July is the heart of winter in Ouro Preto. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 25 °C (77 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. It is one of the busiest times of the year: the destination fills up, rates go up and the best hotels sell out early. Book ahead or choose weekdays. It also rains very little: this is one of the driest months of the year, good for anyone who wants an outdoor itinerary. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Ouro Preto Winter Festival (Festival de Inverno de Ouro Preto) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
