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. « less

The feel and sounds, shortly the total experience, of the massive amounts of falling water is breathtaking, out of this world, unreal.... When gazing into the Devils throat a relaxed feeling overwhelmes you... Almost a spiritual experience when taking into account the drops of water hitting your skin and the soundlevel of the vast amounts of falling water. In May... More

We two days in utter awe of the amount of water running over the massive cliffs and waterways that make up Iguazu Falls. It is spectacular exhibition of uncontained beauty and power, at the very northern tip of Argentina on the border with Brazil. There were many busloads of tourists in the park on the Argentine side on the first... More

If you are planning to do that, I do not advise taking young children. The walk is very long. As you approach the area, it is very wet and windy and you get soaking wet. Because of the wind and water, it is very hard to operate a camera! More

We did a boat trip or should we say a drenching trip into the "DevelsTthroat" which we captured on video. Do not miss this great experience. Just to die for. More
