OldBoot Posted September 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I expect to get wet while exploring Iguazu Falls. So, who has advice on how to dress in a hot humid climate near the falls? A rain poncho seems like it would be so warm you'd sweat through your clothes and no poncho means you will be soaked by the spray. Bathing suit and cover up perhaps???

tcdcruiser Posted September 2, 2017 #4 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) From my experience in march 2017 expect hot and humid. The water spray is not too bad unless you take the boat ride into/near the falls. Did see lots of young people in bathing suits but think they took the boat ride Edited September 2, 2017 by tcdcruiser Oops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldBoot Posted September 2, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I don't want to traumatize those beautiful young things sporting swimsuits! Lol Regular attire for me then with a rain poncho along for backup. [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredZiffle Posted September 3, 2017 #6 Share Posted September 3, 2017 We did every trail on the Argentine side and had no need for rain ponchos. We were also carrying a DSLR with no protection, and it did not get wet. I can't imagine walking around in that heat and humidity wearing a poncho.

Sent from my SM-T560NU using Tapatalk BTW- You only carry the Poncho folded up and put it only if you think you are getting wet. Yes it is hot with them on. Wet and hot or just hot your choice.

OldBoot Posted September 4, 2017 Author #9 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Unless you plan to do the boat trip to the falls (where you will get all soaked), you won't get really wet after your visit. When you plan to go? If it is between december to march, it will be really hot and humid, so your cloths will dry very soon. Thanks!

iancal Posted September 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted September 4, 2017 We were there this past Feb. The humidity was reasonable. We walked around the Argentine side in shorts. We did not go on the boat tour...line up was too long. We did not take ponchos, jackets,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbwinn Posted September 4, 2017 #11 Share Posted September 4, 2017 We went in November. It was warm. I wore shorts out of quick dry fabric. As stated above, the only chance of getting wet is on the boat tour under the Falls, and even then, you may wear a rain poncho if you want to avoid it.
