You step from the van into a spray that smells of wet rock and green leaf; the falls announce themselves before you see them, a thunder that shapes the air. The Brazilian side opens with a panoramic promenade — a 1.2-km boardwalk that stages broad views of cascades and the final, roaring arc known as Devil’s Throat. Later, the group crosses the Tancredo Neves Bridge and the jungle swallows the sound, the ecological train humming through shade to the Upper Trail and the long walkway that reaches out over the most powerful curtain of water.

Conservation
Both national parks manage visitor flow and infrastructure to protect fragile rainforest and river ecosystems; stick to marked trails and avoid feeding wildlife.
