Best time to Visit
Good time to visit
Average time to visit
April to October is the dry season in the Pantanal and the best time to visit for wildlife observation. To combine the Pantanal with good beach weather further south or in Trancoso, consider traveling in August to October. Temperatures in Bahia are steady throughout the year but April to July is usually the wettest season.
