At this time the falls are at their fullest, crashing through the jungle with astounding force. It’s an awe-inspiring sight but be aware that some trails may become inaccessible. This is the height of summer and temperatures reach up to 40°C, with a spike in rain and humidity. January – February is holiday time in Latin America so there will be more visitors.
