The volume of water in the Iguazú River at the height of the falls recorded today 10 million liters per second, exceeding the amount considered normal, which is 1.5 million.
The intense flow of water forced the closure of the main walkway of the falls where tourists usually walk on both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, as reported by the park that houses one of the new world wonders of nature.
The increase in the volume of water is a consequence of the rains that hit the Brazilian state of Paraná, in southern Brazil, where the tourist attraction is located.
The Iguazú National Park, created on January 10, 1939 and with an area of 169,695 hectares, is the second most visited national park in Brazil, only behind Tijuca, in Rio de Janeiro and known for hosting the famous Christ the Redeemer on his Corcovado hill.
In 1986, the park received the UNESCO title of Natural Heritage of Humanity and its falls are considered one of the seven wonders of nature in the world.
The entrance Iguazú Falls record water record in the last five years was first published in diary TODAY.
