About Saltos del Moconá
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.
