About Garganta del Diablo
The Devil's Throat is the grand finale of any visit to Iguazú Falls. It is a U-shaped canyon where most of the river's flow drops, about 80 metres high, with a permanent cloud of spray.
You get there on the Rainforest Ecological Train to Garganta station, then along a footbridge of about one kilometre over the upper Iguazú River.
Local tip
Bring a bag for your phone: the spray soaks everything in seconds.
