All Months
March through May offers perfect weather — warm days around 75°F and cool nights ideal for walking the colonial center. This is peak season for a reason. Hotel prices climb but the comfortable temperatures make sightseeing a pleasure.
September through November brings spring weather and fewer crowds. Jacaranda trees bloom purple throughout the city, creating Instagram-worthy scenes around every corner. Temperatures hover in the pleasant 60-70°F range.
Summer (December-February) gets brutally hot — often hitting 95°F with high humidity. But this is when the city's nightlife peaks. Students are on break, festivals fill the calendar, and late dinners make sense when it's still 85°F at 10 PM. Just budget for lots of air conditioning.
Winter (June-August) sees temperatures drop to the 50s. Not freezing, but chilly enough that outdoor dining loses its appeal. Some day trip destinations in the mountains may be inaccessible.
