## Water flow at Iguazú and Moconá

The flow of Iguazú Falls depends on rainfall in the Iguazú basin, mostly in Brazil, and can change a lot from one month to the next. Moconá Falls are best seen when the Uruguay River is low. In both cases, check current conditions before travelling.

## Frequently asked questions
