Foz do Iguaçu in August
Great time to visit
Winter's last stand with perfect days and cold nights. The waterfalls run low but the clear skies and manageable crowds create ideal conditions for serious exploring.
Weather
August continues the dry winter pattern with chilly mornings and pleasant afternoons. The air gets crisp and clean, with virtually no rain to interrupt your plans. Nights can get surprisingly cold, especially after sunset near the falls.

All Months
April through September brings the best weather - less humidity, fewer mosquitoes, and water levels that showcase the falls without overwhelming them. July and August see the biggest crowds and highest prices. Book accommodations three months ahead for these months. December through March is wet season. The falls rage at maximum power but expect daily downpours and oppressive heat. March and April offer the sweet spot: decent weather, manageable crowds, and water levels high enough for dramatic photos. Avoid Brazilian school holidays in July and December unless you enjoy queuing with thousands of excited teenagers. The falls flow year-round, but September through November provides the most comfortable temperatures for hiking the trails.
