When is the best time to go to Santo Antônio?

The best time to go to Santo Antônio is during the dry season, which runs from May to September, offering pleasant weather for exploring. During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking in the surrounding hills or enjoying the town's historic architecture. The clear skies also provide excellent visibility for scenic views of the bay. Travellers looking for a relaxing escape will appreciate the calm atmosphere during this period. The reduced humidity makes strolls through the historic centre and along the waterfront more comfortable.
