Climate
The climate in this region is subtropical with high levels of humidity, and an annual average temperature of 20°C due to the rivers Iguazu and Parana, and the Itaipu dam. The warmest months are from October to April, while the coolest months are in winter, but climate is always warm.
When to travel?
Any time of the year is adequate for traveling to Iguazu because the Waterfalls are always breathtaking. During the rainy months from January to March there is a greater amount of water. In case you could make your trip coincide with the full moon, a stroll in the moonlight round the waterfalls will be an extra bonus for your trip.
How long?
We suggest staying two nights in Iguazu, to visit the waterfalls on both sides, Argentine and Brazilian. In case you were to do other activities such as the San Ignacio Jesuit Ruins or the semi-precious stone mines in Wanda, we recommend adding an extra night.
