Bonito in February
Not the best time
February offers slightly better conditions than January but you're still gambling with the weather. The rivers run muddy from all the runoff, defeating the main reason people come here.
Weather
February continues the wet season pattern with frequent afternoon thunderstorms. Humidity remains oppressive at around 80%, though rain patterns become slightly more predictable. Mornings often start clear before clouds build up.

All Months
April through September is peak season, and there's a reason everyone comes then. Rivers run clearest during dry season, visibility hits 40+ meters, and you won't sweat through your clothes walking between attractions. July gets busy with Brazilian school holidays — book tours weeks ahead. December through March brings rain that muddies the water and makes some trails impassable. But here's a secret: late March and early April offer perfect weather with smaller crowds. Water's still clear, temperatures hover around 25°C, and you'll actually get those Instagram shots without tourists photobombing.
