The answer depends on the kind of experience you are looking for. See how the Jacar\u00e9 Pepira River changes throughout the year.<\/p>\n<h2>Summer: more water and more excitement<\/h2>\n<p>In the rainy season, roughly from November to March, the river usually has more water. The rapids get stronger and the descent more lively. It is the favorite time for thrill-seekers. The heat also makes a swim in the river even more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/brotasrafting.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rafting-Brotas.jpg\" alt=\"Bote da Brotas rafting com sete pessoas sentadas no piso do bote descendo uma queda\" class=\"wp-image-1486\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/brotasrafting.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rafting-Brotas.jpg 600w, https:\/\/brotasrafting.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rafting-Brotas-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/brotasrafting.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rafting-Brotas-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/brotasrafting.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rafting-Brotas-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h2>Winter: a calmer river<\/h2>\n<p>From May to September it rains less and the river is usually lower. The descent is calmer, which suits families and first-timers. The water is colder, so it's worth bringing a warm change of clothes.<\/p>\n<h2>And on days of heavy rain?<\/h2>\n<p>Safety comes first. The river level is assessed before every departure and, if conditions are not safe, the activity is adjusted or rescheduled.
