Highlights

When to Visit

Mar-May

Falls at high flow without summer's overwhelming crowds, autumn temperatures pleasant for the loop walks, and the rainforest still green from the wet season.

Jun-Aug

Cooler dry season with the falls at moderate flow, Devil's Throat boardwalk accessible, and the Misiones jungle wildlife visible without afternoon storm interruptions.

Sep-Nov

Spring shoulder with rising flow as wet season returns, butterflies at peak across the falls trails, and Argentine Independence Day July 9 aside, lower visitor density.

Dec-Feb

Wet season with the falls at maximum flow but afternoon storms common, hits 35°C with humidity, and crowds at peak with Argentine and Brazilian summer holidaymakers.
