Volume more than three times historic July average
Iguazu Falls in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, had a flow of 4.9 million liters per second on the morning of July 13. The walkway overlooking the Devil's Throat remains open for visitors.
The recorded volume is more than three times the historic average of 1.5 million liters per second. According to Urbia+Cataratas, the concessionaire responsible for visitation in Iguazu National Park, the flow is expected to decrease throughout the day, with stabilization projected by the end of the week unless rain triggers another rise.
The Falls Trail also remains open. Security teams continuously monitor the Iguazu River.
The period coincides with high visitor numbers during the July holidays. Between July 11 and 12, more than 20,000 people visited the park. It is expected that over 200,000 visitors will pass through the site by July 26, when the park opens daily at 8 a.m.
Iguazu National Park is managed by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) and is recognized as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site.
