What to expect in São Sebastião in July

Myllena Vieira, editor at Visite
Editor's tip

July is the heart of winter in São Sebastião. In Brazil the seasons are the reverse of those in the Northern Hemisphere. Temperatures are pleasant, with highs of 24 °C (75 °F) and nights that still call for a light jacket. 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.
