Key facts
Daylight in Cabo Frio runs from about 10 h 46 min a day in late June to 13 h 35 min in late December (computed for -22.89° latitude), which matters more than the forecast when a day is built around one flight or one crossing.
Getting there
No airport with scheduled passenger service sits within 100 km of Cabo Frio in the OurAirports register, so flying in means a longer transfer from the nearest served city.
