You step onto the broad metal catwalk and the world narrows to water and sound: a continuous roar, a curtain of spray that cools the air and clings to every lens. From the Brazilian side the vistas are theatrical and wide — the circuit gives uninterrupted panoramas of the cascade complex and a head-on view of the Devil’s Throat as plumes of mist climb skyward.
