What each season brings, so you know what to look for.

March

Dry season
  • Weather

    Hot and dry, with sunny days and calm seas.

  • Wildlife

    Birdlife is still at its peak, and the last northern humpbacks may be seen early in the month. Sloths and monkeys are active year-round.

  • Good to know

    Still busy, and Semana Santa (the week before Easter) falls in late March or April in most years. Reserve early if your dates are close to it.
