The weather was perfect, not too hot and not wet.
Glad to hear it.

Great report - glad you made the most of this as a "day trip" option from Buenos Aires. It remains one of my favourite places on the planet.
If you get the chance to return, a stay at the Sheraton is, IMHO, worth the price/points, just for getting that entire slice of paradise practically to yourself in the morning before the hordes of tourists arrive (or in the afternoons after most have left).
If you're a history buff, check out the movie "The Mission" (Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons) if for nothing else, excellent footage of the falls.

Annoyingly imgur has broken all the images in this trip report. If anyone wants to read it in its original glory, reply or PM me and I will take the time to fix it. Until then, I'll leave it.

I already had the vaccine for a different trip.
Actually the yellow fever vaccine is the only vaccine that's ever caused me any side effects. But a day in the bathroom is a small price to pay for life long immunity.
For a day trip in the winter, it's probably not necessary. I didn't bother with anti malarials either on that trip, even though it's just within the (low probability) malarial zone.
