At the Barzilian side, it is a similar trekking but at the opposite side of Iguazu River which eventually leads to a point close to the Devil's Throat - Lookout Devil's Throat.
The visual is distinctly different at the Argentinian side from the Brazilian side. At the Lookout Point which is the bottom of the massive waterfall, one catches a slight glimpse of Devil's Throat at a distance surrounded by cliffs with multiple shelto or "jumps".
The walk along the final stretch of the boardwalk to the Lookout Point turned out to be the most torturous experience at Iguana Falls. That short stretch (look here) which is a normal 15 minutes walk took almost an hour duration. The uncontrolled crowd was so massive that the boardwalk was jammed packed with literally zero movement at most of the time.
Before departure, a final glimpse of the Devil's Throat is to climb the long staircase or take the 69 feet high nearby elevator.
A trip to Iguazu Falls would not be complete until one is done with the Wet Boat Ride. Quite unlike the ride at Niagara Falls, the boat which we took at the Brazilian side literally charged into the plunging water until everyone on board was fully soaked and drenched. The less adventurous ones opted for the Dry Boat Ride. This boat merely passes by the plunging water and everyone on board remains dry at the end of the ride. Fortunately, it was friends at the dry boat who were able to capture moments when we were drenched with the plunging water!
