Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Devil's Throat is a set of waterfalls 80 m high that are detached towards a narrow gorge, which concentrates the largest flow of the Iguazu Falls, being in turn these waterfalls the highest flow in the world.

At midday, follow your guide to the food center and enjoy a little rest and lunch (own expense) before taking the train to the Garganta del Diablo Station, further into the forest. Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat) is the biggest fall in Iguazu, and the catwalks take you right on top of it! Be surprised and amazed by the strength and volume of water, which creates a permanent fog above the fall.
