Iguazu Falls at their fullest: what to expect this week
Marco Três newsroom · edited by Annie Grellmann
The flow of the Iguazu River reached 2,827 m³/s, indicating more powerful falls for visitors now.
According to official data, the flow of the Iguazu River at Iguazu Falls, located on the border between Brazil and Argentina, is 2,827 m³/s (level 201 cm), an increase of 73.1% in about 7 days. This rise makes the waterfalls fuller and more impressive, providing an even more intense natural spectacle for tourists.
For those planning a visit, the extra water force means better views of the falls, but also requires extra caution on the trails and observation areas, which may become wetter and pose a higher risk of slipping. It is recommended to wear appropriate footwear, bring a rain cover, and arrive early to enjoy the best viewpoints without crowds.
High flow usually attracts more visitors, so check ticket availability and consider less busy times. Take the opportunity to capture amazing photos of the Devil's Throat and the other cascades, which are at their peak at this stage.
