Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Devil’s Throat.
This imposing and stunning fall is located in the national park of Iguazú, that is distributed between Brasil and Argentina.
The name Iguazú comes from Guaraní language and means “water”.
No doubt about the motivation after this name!
The Devil’s Throat (Garganta del Diablo) is mainly located on the Brasilian territory and a small part on the Argentinian one.
On the contrary the greatest part of the falls are located on the Argentinian side.
I cannot express how much I have loved this place, there are really no words to express it.
Mother Nature is always amazing… while we, human beings, never lose an occasion to show our idiocy!
The yellow water that you see is not because the water is dirty.
It is because they have took off the trees and now there are no more roots to retain the mud.
As per the locals, the water use to be sparkling clean before.
We could reflect about it…
What???? Devils Throat, how cool is that! The bridge over the falls is crazy, We want to go on, but then we totally do NOT want to go on it
Yes, it is impressive indeed ☺️
I know David and I were amazed and I actually dreamt about it last night in an indiana jones type of movie dream, lol!
I personally won’t take the risk of but do you know, am amazing thing? There are birds leaving and nesting behind the falls 😳
Absolutely stunning pictures
Thank you so much. I am glad you’ve liked them ☺️
Wow, the photos are breathtaking, Flavia. It’s sad about uprooting the trees.
Thank you for the photos.
Many thanks to you Miriam. Yes, human disasters🤦🏻♀️
There must be a lot of mud to cause the yellow color.
I thought to understand that a rainy day is more than enough and consider that here the ground has a very peculiar red color and when it rains is never for a couple of minutes. It seems that Brazilians are fighting against nature since a long time… while it is their greatest resource, in every sense possible (imho)
Yes, we can do as much as possible, but a lot of time, it’s up to the mother nature.
Amazing! I’ve wanted to visit Iguazú Falls for many years. Soon, I hope!
I hope you will, Henry. It is an amazing place indeed
Stunningly beautiful 🙂 🙂
Many thanks, Jo 😊
I can hear its roar, nice pics! When we visited, the Devil’s Throat was closed for renovation, alas – the rest of the falls were okay but not mightily impressive. Crowded with tourists shoving each other to get a clear shot. None of the butterflies or wildlife we had been promised, scared off by the tourists, I imagine!
I suppose it also depends on the period of the year. It is spring now here. By the way I wonder how your guide or agency could promise you something that they cannot guarantee. It is not the first time, it won’t be the last, but as I am working in tourism it always upsets me to hear things like that.
We went there independently. But there was no mention of it upon paying entry and our brand new edition of Lonely Planet didn’t mention it either, though it had been going on for years. (Years!!!) We were there late November 2014.
Ps. I worked in tourism too, 2001-2014 😊
We are colleagues then 😊 for my experii think that too many times, we operators take for granted things that for tourists are not at all and we should be more focused on details, imho
True!
Beautiful and dangerous looking. Would love to go there. 😊
There were lots of protections, Irene, but it was overwhelming and surprisingly beautiful, yes ☺️
wow
It is almost unbelievable that these photos are real! What a place! I understand you have no words, there is no words for a place like this.
Me neither I cannot believe that all this magnificence was real 😍 my holiday is almost finished and I am already planning to come back, said that maybe now it is more clear at which point I have fell in love with this country😅
Easy to understand that falling in love and welcome back to Europe.
Thank youuu 😘 ☺️
Wow! What a set of pictures! 🙂
Thank you so much☺️
Stunning!! This is very high on my travel wish list.
And I hoe that you will accomplish your dream very soon, Janaline💪☺️
I agree—totally love this place too. The name Devil’s Throat is perfect. Your photos are stunning.
Thank you Caroline, I really appreciate it ☺️😘
I’ve wanted to go there for ages! Stunning.
It has been on my list since for a long time as well but it seems it is not possible to reduce this list, thanks to you as well, as you keep on showing us some beautiful landscapes as well 😊😍
I’ve just been at Niagara falls. It’s a really wonderful place bit the one you’re showing us seems much better
Ciao Bea ☺️ I have never been to Niagara falls so I couldn’t say if Iguazú is better or not, what I can tell you is that it gave me a huge set of different emotions and maybe this is what counts for travelers like us 😉 ho appena cominciato a seguirti, bello il tuo blog!
Grazie Flavia ti aspetto tra i miei post e appena sarò pronta pubblicherò “Niagara Falls” 😉
Fighissimo, così avrò un anteprima al di là delle foto ufficiali che girano per internet ☺️
Certo intanto ti prego Flavia goditi Cape Cod, pubblicato in questo istante, e dimmi cosa ne pensi 🙂
Visto adesso, oltre le mie aspettative!
Bella vero? 😉
Si, davvero ☺️
This somewhat resembles the long waterfall extension of Victoria Falls. Very impressive.
I am longing to see those as well 😍
Thank you so much Anabel ☺️♥️
Thank you ☺️
