Record flow causes temporary closure of walkway in Foz do Iguaçu
On Saturday, October 24, 2026, the water flow at Iguazu Falls reached 9.5 million liters per second, about six times the normal average. The walkway that lets visitors get close was temporarily closed for safety.
Iguazu Falls, located in Foz do Iguaçu in western Paraná, recorded a flow of 9.5 million liters per second, according to a report from ND Mais. This figure is roughly six times the usual average of 1.5 million liters per second.
Because the river level rose, the walkway that brings visitors nearest to the drops was temporarily shut down. Iguazu National Park remains open, allowing visitors to walk the Falls Trail and view the cascades from the overlooks. The paths to Poço Preto and Bananeiras are also temporarily closed.
The flow increase followed heavy rains in the Iguazu River basin. On social media, images of the event sparked reactions of awe and fear.
