Vlog: Alex in the Devil’s Throat (Cataratas del Iguazú)

In this clip, I visit the center of the Garganta del Diablo, or Devil’s Throat – the most violent section of the Iguazu Falls on the Argentinian side. It’s an amazing and terrifying experience. You’re separated from the water by a see-through catwalk. One slip, and it’s over. Watching the falls pour all around you while mist billows out from the crashing water is almost transcendental.

It’s also referred to as “Devil’s Piss.” The stuff is meant for sipping, but is taken as a shot when you hang with a bunch of rowdy Brazilians (Thanks #EIBTUR gang.)
