Arraial do Cabo - Rio de Janeiro

When to visit Arraial do Cabo

Avoid the height of summer and the holidays, as Arraial do Cabo gets very crowded! Take it from me: it is difficult to go on the weekends in January, as traffic in the city is chaotic and the beaches are overcrowded.

As for the weather, you'll find sunshine all year round! The climate in Arraial do Cabo is very stable and there is plenty of sun for you to enjoy the beaches from January to December. And even if it's cloudy, the blue of the waters will be sparkling and inviting for a swim.

It rains more in the summer months, but it's usually not rain that lasts a long time. In the driest period, from June to August, the climate is firm, the city is very quiet and the waters are very cold.
