Devil's Throat walkway remains open despite 7.3 million liters per second
The Iguazu Falls reached a flow of 7.3 million liters per second on the morning of October 2 in Foz do Iguaçu. The volume is almost five times higher than the historic average of 1.5 million liters per second.
Despite the high flow, access to the walkway with a view of the Devil's Throat remains open to visitors.
Technicians from the concessionaire Urbia+Cataratas and the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) monitor the Iguaçu River in real time and conduct continuous assessments of conditions in the Falls area. The flow can vary throughout the day as the river changes.
