Iguazu Falls

A wide curtain of cascades spreads across a river in rainforest, ending in a deep gorge that throws spray into the air. Buses run from Puerto Iguazu and downtown Foz do Iguaçu to the park entrance, then internal trains or buses reach the falls.

Highlights

  • Devil's Throat gorge
  • Upper and lower circuits
  • Constant spray and mist

Good to know

  • Raincoats help but visitors still get wet
  • Do not feed coatis, they follow in packs
  • Devil's Throat closes at high water
