Iguazu Falls’ most iconic attraction, the Devil’s Throat, will be closed for approximately 40 days due to anticipated significant increases in the Iguazu River’s water level. The closure is a precautionary measure enacted by National Parks authorities in response to predicted flooding linked to the El Niño weather phenomenon. A new protocol has been approved to manage the situation and ensure visitor safety. Authorities anticipate powerful surges in river flow, potentially making access to the Devil's Throat dangerous. This closure aims to protect both tourists and park infrastructure from the expected high waters. The timing of the reopening will depend on the river’s behavior and ongoing assessments by park officials. Visitors are advised to check the official National Parks website for updates before planning a trip.
