🌤 Weather summary and notes
🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY: Expect intense tropical heat with temperatures peaking at 37°C. The sun is unforgiving in October, so lightweight, breathable clothing and high-SPF protection are mandatory. We have scheduled all outdoor activities for the early morning and late afternoon to avoid the midday "fire," leaving the hottest hours for shaded thermal pools and indoor museums.

A natural spectacle where the clear waters of Rio Garças refuse to mix immediately with the muddy Araguaia. The color contrast is a photographer's dream. The temperature difference between the two rivers can be felt if you dip your hand in.

- The walk between the Port and the Confluence is flat and easy, but there is little shade. Use an umbrella or a wide-brimmed hat.
