The site is open daily year-round from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The most reliable time to visit is during the dry season from December to April. During this period, the water is clear and river levels are stable.
Heavy rains can temporarily close access to the upper waterfalls due to fast currents. Severe droughts can also impact water levels. Arrive early in the morning to beat the heaviest crowds.
