Introduction

The "Devil's Throat" is the most staggering part of the Iguaçu Falls—a U-shaped giant mouth where the Iguaçu River plunges from three sides, about 80 m high, with mist rising all day and a roar heard for miles. On the Brazil side, visitors walk the trail to its end and step onto a walkway reaching into the river to the foot of the throat, viewing this cross-border giant fall up close as it thunders down, mist in your face and rainbows common—awesome. Unlike Argentina's top-down view, Brazil's is from below at eye level and looking up—complementary. It is the undisputed climax of any Iguaçu visit, and you will almost surely get wet.
