You step onto a walkway and the world becomes sound: thunderous water, spray on your face, and a wind that pushes the rainforest into motion. The Devil's Throat looms ahead — a concrete footbridge threaded through vapor — while verdant cliffs and rock scars mark where the river has carved its course for millennia.

History
European records date to the 1500s, but the falls have long been part of Guarani territory; both national parks were later created to protect the subtropical ecosystem.
Conservation
The Brazilian and Argentine parks collaborate on visitor management and conservation; stay on boardwalks, avoid feeding wildlife, and use refill stations to limit plastic waste.

Carry valid ID for border crossings
Bring original passport or national ID and check visa requirements; an eco‑tourism fee is often paid on entry to Argentina.
Expect spray and slippery surfaces
Wear grippy, quick‑dry footwear and a lightweight waterproof shell — boardwalks and viewing platforms get soaked.
Start early to avoid crowds
Morning departures often offer softer light for photos and a slightly quieter experience on both sides of the park.
Secure documents and electronics
Use a waterproof pouch or dry bag for phones, cameras and travel documents; spray can be heavy near Devil’s Throat.
Waterproof jacket or poncho
Heavy spray near overlooks makes a waterproof layer useful year‑round, particularly in the rainy season.

Sturdy, non‑slip walking shoes
Boardwalks and viewing platforms are wet and can be slippery; good traction improves comfort and safety.
Passport or government ID in a waterproof holder
Required for border crossings and to pay local eco‑taxes; keep it dry and accessible.
Reusable water bottle with filter or capacity
Hydration matters in the humid climate; refill at park stations to reduce waste.
