During full moon nights, you can go along the footbridge of the Garganta del Diablo (Devil's throat) and observe a dazzling and unique spectacle- a clear rainbow formed by the moonlight leaning on the refreshing mist of the waterfall.
Magic really starts when the visitor gets to the park. After being welcomed by the Administration of National Parks, one is taken to the ecologic train to go to Garganta Station. During the trip, which lasts 20 minutes, the forest starts giving its sounds as presents and revealing its mysteries. Once the darkness of night covers the firmament, many animals start looking for their food. This special offer is a good proposal to obtain a new perspective of this Natural Patrimony of Humanity. |

There is a limited time to get to and exit from the footbridge which is 1000 meters long. However the time is enough to get enchanted by the inedit spectacle.
Standing opposite the fall with the full moon added to the view is an unforgettable experience. The created atmosphere is extremely romantic. Many couples, hand in hand, seem to wish melting into a unique self with the natural prodigy. Some other persons stand alone, in silence, just contemplating what is given to the senses, wondering, perhaps, what feelings may have arised in Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca- discoverer of Iguazú Falls- when he found himself in front of this magestic profusion, in a night like that. After a while, visitors leave the balcony to go to the bar of the station to have a natural juice or a caipirinha. |
