Great time to visit
Getting noticeably hotter but still manageable if you adjust your schedule. Holy Week crowds can be intense, but the dry conditions make jungle trails accessible.
Weather
Heat starts asserting itself as dry season peaks, with temperatures pushing into the uncomfortable range by afternoon. Morning humidity stays reasonable but climbs as the day progresses. Rain remains minimal but occasional brief showers appear.
