What to expect in Ilhéus in March
Editor's tip
March brings fall to Ilhéus. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 29 °C (84 °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 rains fairly often, so keep an indoor plan handy for gray days. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Carnival in Ilhéus into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
