The Falls at Iguaçu

by toonsarah - last update: Jan 22, 2008

The Devil's Throat, or Garganta do Diabo
This was possibly my favourite of the places we visited in Brazil. I'm always moved by the power of waterfalls and these are some of the most amazing I've seen. They're on a truly grand scale, and yet you can get right up close and personal!

As well as walks right by the edge of the falls you can also take a boat ride right under the spray. And for a different view, take a side trip into Argentina where there is an even greater choice of walks.

We stayed at the top-range hotel choice here, the Tropical Hotel das Cataratas. It isn’t cheap but you get what you pay for, namely an excellent location right by the falls and an old colonial style of luxury – worth splashing out on in my view if you can manage it.

Our visit was some years ago now. I’ve done my best to check that all my info is up to date but I appreciate things may have changed. Please do let me know if you spot any errors or discover changes that I should correct.

 Excellent new tips and I couldn't agree more with your comments - Iguaçu is something that everyone should see at least once in their lifetime! My wife and I were amazed by it on our 30th wedding anniversary.

 Excellent work! I really need to make it there. I've been eying that waterfall for a while now.
