The Iguazú Falls lie on the border of Argentina and Brazil, where the Iguazú River tumbles off a basalt plateau in a curve nearly three kilometres long. There are more than two hundred separate falls, and the largest, the Devil’s Throat, sends up a cloud of spray visible for miles.
In the mornings, the sun rises behind the Argentinian side, and the spray fills with rainbows over the Brazilian viewpoints. The falls are surrounded by subtropical rainforest full of toucans, butterflies and coatis.
A sunrise at Iguazú is a gift of abundance — water, forest and rainbows in one of the most powerful places in South America.
The best season
The falls flow all year, highest after the rains from December to March. Autumn and winter, April to September, bring milder temperatures and clearer views.
Where to watch
The Garganta del Diablo walkway on the Argentinian side stands over the Devil’s Throat. The Brazilian trail faces the whole curve of the falls, with rainbows in the morning light.
