## About

Unlike Iguazú Falls, Moconá Falls run along the river rather than across it: a fault in the bed of the Uruguay River makes the water drop from one side to the other over about 3 kilometres. On the Argentine side they are inside Moconá Provincial Park, in the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve.
Whether you can see them depends on the river level: when it rises, the falls are covered. They are seen from footbridges and trails, and on boat or raft trips from El Soberbio.

**Local tip:** Before travelling, ask in El Soberbio whether the falls are visible: with high water they are submerged.
