Iguazu Argentina, the Devil’s Throat Circuit has been opened back

After 4 months of work, the access to Garganta del Diablo was finally finished and after inspection by local authorities, the circuit is completely safe for tourist visits.

In Iguazú, whether on the Argentine or Brazilian side, the main activity is, of course, a visit to the Iguazú Falls – Great Waters in the Guarani language – which are shared by the Iguazú National Park (AR) and the Iguaçú National Park (BR).

Both sides of the visitable part of the Iguazú Falls, the Argentine and the Brazilian, are really different. The Argentine side allows you to get a closer view of the falls. From the Brazilian side you can get a more panoramic image.

On the Argentine side of Iguazú, you can literally walk over the very falls.

From the beginning of the geological fault where the Falls are born, to where the Devil’s Throat is located, there are 23 kilometers of distance, due to the slow erosive retreat, but continuous in the position of the Falls.

The Devil’s Throat is the most imposing waterfall in the complex, 80 meters high, and the violence of the fall produces a permanent fog, in which the sun’s rays make up multiple rainbows of insurmountable beauty.

To access it, you must walk along a long footbridge, which, after a significant flood of the river in mid-October 2022, “the second most important recorded in this century” according to the National Park administration, was closed to preserve the safety of visitors.

Said flood poured 16,500 cubic meters of water per second into the mountains and caused 51 of the 99 sections of the walkway that leads to the Devil’s Throat to be washed away by the river.

From that moment until a few days ago, the local authorities were dedicated to the recovery and reconstruction of the facilities and the good news is that the Authorities finally announced the official authorization to the public for Wednesday, March 1, 2023.

Finally, it is important to mention that, in addition to the footbridge to Devil’s Throat, you can go through the upper and lower circuits within the Argentina National Park, but this last circuit is still partially enabled since one of the sections that approaches the Salto Bosetti is still closed and until further notice.
