What to expect in Paraty in August

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

August is the heart of winter in Paraty. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 26 °C (79 °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. If the dates line up, it is worth fitting Cachaça, Culture and Flavors Festival (Festival da Cachaça, Cultura e Sabores) into your itinerary: it is what livens up the destination at that time of year.
