To go into in the middle
of this natural wonder is very easy. The design of the peatonales circuits
superior and inferior allows to approach more than 270 jumps from all the
possible angles. First one goes into in the forest and it leads, by perrons that
go in reduction, to the jumps Two Sisters, Alvar Núñez and Lanusse. The second
however, allows a perspective "of postcard" of the Throat of the Devil, an
enormous tube in which converges several spectacular cascades and from which the
Iguazú, that up to here slides like a calm river, steeply falls to the emptiness
from its peak altitude of 80 meters, to end at Parana, 20 kilometers advanced
more to the height of Iguazú Port.
