Best time to visit Maranhão:

Dry Season (September to March): This period experiences less rainfall, making it an ideal time to visit coastal destinations like Salvador, Fortaleza, and Natal. The weather is sunny and perfect for beach activities, water sports, and exploring the coastline.

Carnival and Festivals (February/March): Carnival in cities like Salvador and Recife is a major draw, with vibrant parades, music, and celebrations. It's a lively time but can also be crowded.

June Festivals (June): Festivals like São João, particularly in cities like Campina Grande, celebrate traditional culture with music, dance, and food.

Shoulder Season (April to August): While it's the wetter season, it can still be a good time to visit as the crowds are smaller, and prices might be lower. Some areas might experience brief showers but can still offer enjoyable travel experiences.
