You step off the minivan onto a wooden platform and the river announces itself — a low, persistent roar that gathers into a thunder you feel more than hear. The Ecological Train rattles away into a wet green room of trees, and within minutes you’re walking boardwalks that hover above spray and mist. The Devil’s Throat waits ahead, its torrent pushing air and fine water toward anyone brave enough to the railing.

History
The falls lie on the borderland of Argentina and Brazil and have long been significant to indigenous Guarani communities; the area became a national park in Argentina in 1934 to protect its unique landscapes.
Conservation
Park authorities manage visitor flow and boardwalks to protect fragile soils and vegetation; stick to designated paths and avoid feeding wildlife to minimize human impact.
