After water level rise, visitation resumes
The Upper Falls Circuit of Iguazú reopens on October 28, 2026. The decision was made after monitoring the flow of the Iguazú River.
The Upper Falls Circuit of Iguazú, located in Iguazú National Park in Misiones, Argentina, reopened on October 28, 2026, after being closed preventively due to the rise of the Iguazú River.
The reopening was announced in an official statement released on Tuesday, October 27, indicating that the circuit would welcome visitors starting October 28. The decision was based on recent flow monitoring of the river, which showed safe conditions for tourist circulation.
The Upper Circuit offers panoramic views of the waterfalls from walkways situated on the higher part of the park. The measure aims to restore one of the park's main tourist routes.
During October, heavy rains in the Iguazú River basin caused significant increases in flow, leading to preventive measures across several areas of the protected zone. The situation also caused river and stream flooding in other parts of Misiones, resulting in road closures and border crossing interruptions.
The tourism organization thanked visitors for their understanding during the restriction period and invited everyone to experience the waterfalls.
