Iguazu Falls: The Devil's Throat is closed indefinitely due to a drastic rise in the river

The Iguazu Falls, specifically the Devil's Throat, were closed indefinitely due to a dramatic rise in the Iguazu River's flow. The increase was attributed to heavy rains in Brazil and Paraguay, causing the river's discharge to surge from 2750 to 9190 cubic meters per second within 26 hours, reaching over 10,000 m³/s—nearly six times the average. Iguazu Argentina, the concessionaire, activated an emergency protocol, closing access to the Devil's Throat to allow staff to remove safety barriers. Reopening depends on water levels dropping and structural inspections. While the main waterfall is closed, the national park remains open for other circuits. Brazilian authorities also report high flows, though not reaching historical peaks like those in 2014.
