What to expect in Canela in August

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

August is the heart of winter in Canela. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Lows hover around 9.1 °C (48 °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. Rain, when it comes, is usually brief and does not spoil the day. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Festa Colonial (Colonial Festival) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
