The short answer
When to go to Agumbe
November to February is the best window, with clear skies, cool mornings and the best chance of seeing the sun set towards the sea. March is workable but warmer. June to September brings extreme rain, fog and leeches; waterfalls are at their fullest but views and trails suffer. For older travellers, winter is clearly the most comfortable, and mist and slippery paths make the monsoon a poor choice.
