More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto a rain-damp boardwalk and the air changes—thick, humid, alive with spray and the constant percussion of falling water. From the Brazilian promenade the falls stretch like a living wall; on the Argentine side walkways thread into the mist and drop you to the lip of the Devil’s Throat. This two-day package stitches both perspectives together with a close-up boat run known as La Gran Aventura and a visit to Parque das Aves.
