Bonito in March
Not the best time
March is when Bonito starts waking up from its rainy season slumber. You might catch some decent weather in the second half, but you're still taking a risk with murky water conditions.
Weather
March marks the transition out of wet season, though you'll still see regular afternoon showers. Humidity drops to a more manageable 70-75%. Rivers begin to clear up by month's end as rainfall decreases.

- •River visibility improves significantly in the final week
- •Tour operators start reopening full schedules around March 20th
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.
