November - April

Temperatures do not vary greatly throughout the year, averaging in the low to mid twenties. There is rainfall year round, but December to March are the driest times to visit and as such the best time for adventure sports and hiking. Christmas, Carnival in February/March and Easter may be busier with local tourism.

May - October

During these months you’ll see rainfall on around half the days, so it’s important to pack waterproof clothing for hikes and outdoor adventures. That said, year round there are pleasant temperatures in the mid to low twenties and you’ll likely enjoy plenty of sunshine.
