The Iguazu River drops 82 metres across a basalt plateau two million years in the making, carving a horseshoe amphitheatre that straddles Argentina and Brazil. Eleanor Roosevelt reportedly said "Poor Niagara" upon seeing the 275 individual cascades that span 2.7 kilometres of subtropical rainforest.
The Argentine side, accessed via Puerto Iguazú, holds the Devil's Throat — a U-shaped chasm 150 metres wide and 700 metres long where 1,750 cubic metres of water thunder past every second during peak flow.
UNESCO inscribed the site in 1984, recognizing not only the hydraulic spectacle but also the 2,000 plant species and 450 bird species sheltered within the surrounding national parks. Toucans, coatis, and great dusky swifts nest in the spray zone. The falls sit 340 kilometres northeast of Asuncion, a journey that crosses the Paraná River at Presidente Franco and enters Argentina through the Tancredo Neves Bridge. Most iguazu falls from asuncion tours depart before dawn to reach the park entrance by 8:00 AM, when mist still hangs over the lower circuit walkways.
The park's trail system divides into upper and lower circuits, each roughly three kilometres long. The upper circuit follows the crest line, offering aerial views of San Martín Island and the Brazilian shore. The lower circuit descends to river level, where catwalks extend to within metres of the Tres Mosqueteros and Dos Hermanas falls. A separate pathway leads to Garganta del Diablo via the ecological train — a propane-powered tram that ferries visitors across Isla San Martín to the final 1,200-metre boardwalk.
Argentine architect Luis Castelli designed the elevated walkways in 1984 using corrosion-resistant steel anchored to basalt outcrops, minimizing root disruption in the Paraná Atlantic Forest. The trails replaced older dirt paths that eroded during the rainy season and blocked wildlife corridors. Modern visitors navigate the same routes, but infrastructure upgrades in 2014 added wheelchair-accessible ramps and solar-powered lighting for the visitor centre. The park receives 1.6 million guests annually, with Paraguayan day-trippers forming a significant share during the dry months of June through August when water clarity peaks and flow rates stabilize around 1,500 cubic metres per second.
