Devil’s Throat Circuit
The Devil’s Throat circuit allows you to appreciate up close the most impressive waterfall at the Iguazú Falls, with over 80 meters in height, 150 meters in length, and a flow rate of 1,500 cubic meters of water per second.
The walkways, which are proposed to expand, were closed since October 2023 due to the rise of the Iguazú River and reopened last July.
