While these are the best months, the crowds can be extremely high. It is advisable to visit on weekdays to avoid the heavy weekend traffic and long queues at the falls.
Most public waterfalls have segregated bathing areas for men and women. Keep a change of clothes handy, and note that using chemical soaps or shampoos directly in the water is often restricted to protect the environment. If you are planning a trip soon, let me know: How many days you plan to stay? What is your starting city ? Are you traveling with family, friends, or solo ?
The weather transitions into a pleasant, misty winter. Temperatures drop, making daytime sightseeing very comfortable.
