The Iguazu Falls formed where the Iguazu River cuts through basalt from ancient volcanic flows; the falls have long been part of Guarani territory and feature in indigenous legend.
Conservation

Bring waterproof protection
A lightweight rain jacket or poncho and a dry bag protect electronics during the Macuco Safari and heavy spray at Devil’s Throat.

Carry ID and local currency
A passport is required for cross-border bookings and small cash may be needed for entrance fees or lockers if not prepaid.
