Preventive closure because of increased Rio Iguaçu flow
The Iguazu Falls walkway in Foz do Iguaçu (PR) was closed this Sunday (11) due to the rise in the Rio Iguaçu flow. The preventive measure was taken by Urbia+Cataratas and ICMBio while the flow reached about 8.8 million liters per second, roughly six times the historic average.
The Iguazu Falls walkway was closed preventively this Sunday (11) after the Rio Iguaçu flow reached approximately 8.8 million liters per second, a value about six times higher than the historic average of around 1.5 million liters per second.
The Falls Trail and its viewpoints remain open to the public, allowing normal visitation in Iguazu National Park.
The Bananeiras and Poço Preto paths are also temporarily closed due to flood risk from the rising river level.
Technical teams from Urbia+Cataratas, the concessionaire responsible for park management, and the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio) continue monitoring the Rio Iguaçu conditions to decide when to reopen the walkway, with no set date.
