You step off the air-conditioned vehicle and the air itself changes — cooler, wetter, charged with the constant roar that announces Iguazu. The day begins in the Argentine park: a short train ride deposits you near the Devil’s Throat platform, where the river dares you closer and the spray paints rainbows across the viewpoints.
