December - March

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.

September - November

After the dry season, there is less water volume in the falls. You’ll be able to spot individual cataracts crashing over the towering granite cliffs. The weather is not extremely humid, and is neither hot nor particularly wet, though as with any time of year here there is a chance of rainfall.
