About
Quick facts: The falls extend over 1.7 miles, ranking them among the largest and most impressive waterfall systems worldwide. They attract over 2.5 million visitors annually, and the mighty roar of crashing water can be heard from miles away.
Highlights: Approximately 275 separate falls create the cascading spectacle, with the Devil's Throat being the loudest, dropping nearly 82 meters into swirling mist. The surrounding lush rainforest shelters unique wildlife such as colorful toucans and playful coatis, making a vibrant, lively backdrop.
Insider tips
- Wear quick-dry clothes and waterproof shoes because getting close means you will get wet.
- Early morning visits beat the crowds and allow better photos without too much mist blocking views.
- Start with the upper trail for panoramic vistas, then work down to avoid peak crowd times at Devil's Throat.
- Carry a waterproof camera case or use a phone with good water protection for shots in misty areas.
