When is the best time to go to São José?
The best time to go to São José is during the dry season, which runs from May to September.

During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 20 to 28 degrees Celsius. This weather is ideal for exploring the region's natural beauty, such as the waterfalls and hiking trails, without the interruption of heavy downpours. It's also superb for enjoying outdoor activities like river rafting or visiting local farms.

For travellers looking for a more relaxed pace and fewer crowds, visiting in May or September can be particularly appealing. The weather is still pleasant, but it's just outside the peak school holiday period, meaning you'll often find more availability and perhaps better value for your accommodation. This can be great for couples seeking a peaceful getaway.

If you're planning a trip around specific local festivals or events, it's worth checking the local calendar as these often occur outside the main dry season.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right São José hotel for you.
