The sheer beauty of the waterfalls in Iguazu is hard to describe in words. It is a sight to behold and one must visit this natural wonder once in their lifetime. The volume of water, the millions of butterflies, the spray from the falls that hangs in the air and of course the thundering sound of the falls - all...

Owner description:
This wonder of nature permits the observation of one of the most unique landscapes in the World; constituted by the upper Iguazu River and the Subtropical Forest, which frame the incredible Devil's Throat balcony. Three ring-shaped balconies permit a special view of the colossal “throat”, the culmination of the journey: a giant horseshoe-shaped waterfall 150 meters / 492 feet long, and 80 meters / 262 feet high. Here the water falls with such potency that it creates dense clouds of vapor as it pours into the river below. From here you can experience such wonderful sensations, offering you amazing and unforgettable moments:- Just listening to the roar of the waterfalls - Feeling the vapor of waterfalls- Appreciating the rainbows that form amongst the clouds of water and rays of the sun - Admiring the contrasts of colors between the green forest and the blue sky, or the white color of the water foam and the red soil. - A separate spectacle is offered by the “vencejos” - birds unique to the Iguazu Falls that swoop down along the falls, as if they wanted to be confused with the curtains of water.This fabulous place is located 2080 m / 1 mile from the Devil's Station. You arrive by the Ecological Jungle Train, 5 km / 3miles from the Central Station. The Iguazu National Park Waterfalls Area has assorted activities. Along the upper and lower walkways you will be able to admire between 160 and 275 falls, the Devil's Throat being the most impressive one.

Bring rain clothes! You'll get pretty wet from the mist surrounding the falls. The sheer volume of water cascading over the falls is crazy! There are also several viewpoints of the falls from a distance on the lower trails.

A truly amazing and breathtaking experience. The power, size and sheer noise of Iguazu is just impressive given its beauty and energy. The falls are huge and magnificent. It is a must if you are in the northern part of Argentina.

just to gaze out the falls is a natural purification process - just do it. food inside the park was poor. tkts were overpriced too. the way they manage the park could be improved 1.000 times but third world is right there. focus on water and have a good time.

Once you have taken the train ride from the main entrance you come across a walkway that leads to Garganta del Diablo. After a short walk you are faced with this waterfall with pure power. You are right next to it on the platform and you can see just how wide and majestic this waterfall is. You just cannot see...

We took the train up the falls and at arrival we were received by hundreds of beautiful and colorful butterflies. The experience cannot be compared to seeing any butterfly exhibit in the world. They just come and land on everyone while you walk. It was an Edenic experience.

Truly stunning! When you walk along the calm iguazu river, you cannot believe that these gushing falls are waiting on the other side. Be prepared to get soaked. One of the best places I've been to. Oh yeah and for more thrills go on the boat trip... Puts the log flumes to shame!

I have to agree with Eleanore Roosevelt. This place is amazing. The first day we spent doing the Garganta del Diablo. and the upper falls. This is where we saw all of the animals. We saw coatie, toucans, monkeys, black and yellow birds, vultures and the great dusky swifts that dive from overhead through the falls to their nests behind...
