What to expect in Salvador in March
Editor's tip
March brings fall to Salvador. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Highs reach 31 °C (88 °F): the heat calls for early starts, sunscreen, and spending the middle of the day in the shade or in the water. 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. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Carnival in Salvador into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
