Introduction

The Devil's Throat is the most overwhelming scene of the Iguazú falls, deep inside Argentina's national park. Dozens of streams converge into a semicircular wall of water plunging some 80 metres into the gorge, mist erupting skyward as thunder fills the air; standing at the end of the walkway that reaches into the cataract's heart, you feel embraced by the giant fall. The soul of Iguazú, it is reached by eco-train then a boardwalk, a must for photographers and anyone seeking nature's raw power. After rain, double rainbows often appear, and morning mist refracts a dreamy glow in the sun.
