December - February

Summer in Iguazú Falls is hot and humid, particularly in January. Due to plentiful rainfall, the falls are bursting full as they thunder dramatically through the rainforest, soaking onlookers with a refreshing spray. Some trails may be inaccessible and January – February are especially busy as it’s Latin American holiday time.
