Safety & health
Iguaçu Falls Walkway Closed Due to High Water Levels
The walkway at Iguaçu Falls in Foz do Iguaçu was closed due to the river's flow reaching 8.8 million liters per second, nearly six times the average. The closure, reported by O Globo, was a precautionary measure to ensure visitor safety. The Paraná state authorities are monitoring the situation closely. The increased water flow is attributed to recent heavy rains in the region.
