Iguaçu National Park Team Began Removal on Tuesday (13)
A team from Iguaçu National Park began removing the grates from the Iguaçu Falls walkway on Tuesday (13) in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná. The action is due to the increased flow of the Iguaçu River, which reached 10 million liters per second that day.
The walkway had already been closed since Sunday (11), when the flow of the Iguaçu River was approximately 8.8 million liters of water per second. On Tuesday (13) the volume rose to 10 million liters per second.
The goal of removing the grates is to prevent them from creating resistance against objects and materials that could impact the structure, as explained by André Vieira, Manager of Health and Safety at the park.
According to Iguaçu National Park, the Falls Trail and its overlooks remain open, allowing visitors to view the falls from a distance, and visitation to the park continues normally.
