A historic pedestrian walkway known as the Devil’s Throat at Iguazu Falls has been dismantled after water levels surged to nearly eight times their usual height, forcing authorities to close the popular tourist attraction. The unprecedented rise in water flow, driven by heavy rainfall in the region, has left the area vulnerable to further flooding and structural risks. Officials are assessing the damage while warning visitors to stay clear of the dangerous conditions. The closure marks a rare interruption to one of South America’s most iconic natural landmarks.
