Operational notes Day 4 or 5: The river’s water level varies daily. For that reason, when the height of Uruguay River is higher than usual the waterfalls are not visible and consequently, the park and sailings turn disabled.
To keep in mind • The access to the Garganta del Diablo Balcony can be interrupted by the rise of the river flow.
