Field notes
Tropical highland (Atlantic forest) — meaningfully cooler than coastal Brazil because of the 850m altitude. Wet austral-summer (October–March, 22–23°C average) brings near-daily afternoon thunderstorms; dry austral-winter (April–August, 18–22°C average) is the postcard working window with cool nights occasionally below 12°C. UV is strong year-round at altitude.
