What to expect in Lençóis Maranhenses in July
Editor's tip
July is the heart of winter in Lençóis Maranhenses. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Highs reach 32 °C (90 °F): the heat calls for early starts, sunscreen, and spending the middle of the day in the shade or in the water. It is one of the busiest times of the year: the destination fills up, rates go up and the best hotels sell out early. Book ahead or choose weekdays. Rain, when it comes, is usually brief and does not spoil the day. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting São João / Bumba Meu Boi into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
