Authorities at Iguazu Falls, located on the border between Argentina and Brazil, have successfully dismantled the iconic Devil’s Throat walkway. The decision was made as a direct response to extreme weather conditions that caused water levels to rise to nearly eight times their typical volume.

The walkway, which allows tourists to stand directly over the massive waterfall, is a major feature of the park. Park officials stated that the removal was necessary to prevent the structure from being swept away or damaged by the intense force of the surging river. While the park remains a significant tourist destination, access to this specific viewing area has been suspended until water levels recede and safety inspections can be completed.

There is currently no confirmed timeline for when the walkway will be reassembled or when public access to the Devil’s Throat will be restored. Park management is monitoring the situation closely, as the river's flow remains significantly higher than normal. The dismantling process is a standard emergency protocol for the site, which has faced similar flooding challenges in previous years due to heavy rainfall in the region.
