The Iguazú National Park in Argentina has preemptively closed the access walkway to the Garganta del Diablo, one of the primary attractions at the Iguazú Falls. The measure was implemented on August 3 in response to meteorological projections forecasting a significant rise in the Iguazú River's water levels during September.
Authorities cited the El Niño phenomenon as the driver behind the expected surge in flow. The closure is intended as a preventative safety measure to protect visitors and infrastructure from the potential impact of the anticipated flooding.
