Going there was magnificent. After Iguaçu, Victoria, Niagara and a few others I thought I was jaded. Angel is not spectacular on that sheer mass and horizontal length of Victoria, which I always thought could not be beat. All the others have excellent hotels and good infrastructure.
Angel is soooo long it is simply indescribable and photos don't begin to do it justice. The camps and trip are nothing good and they are barely worth the cheap price posted here (I paid three times that) but you will never regret the trip. There is nothing else remotely like this on earth. Don't think about it, just do it!

I went in June just at the beginning of the rainy season. I would go about that time because the volume is up, not at the highest, and the mists may be lower. I am definitely not an authority, so I suggest seeking better advice on weather than I can give. For certain I was lucky.
