What to expect in Ilha Grande in August

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

August is the heart of winter in Ilha Grande. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 27 °C (81 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. Crowds are light, which tends to work in favor of travelers: shorter lines, more peace and quiet, and cheaper lodging. It also rains very little: this is one of the driest months of the year, good for anyone who wants an outdoor itinerary.
