What to expect in Canela in October

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

October is spring in Canela. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Lows hover around 12.7 °C (55 °F), so a heavy coat and cold-weather clothing are essential, especially at night. 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. It rains fairly often, so keep an indoor plan handy for gray days. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Josué Guimarães Book Fair (Feira do Livro Josué Guimarães) or Sonho de Natal (Christmas Dream) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
