The national park announced on Monday that tourist access to the Iguazú waterfalls in northern Argentina would close as a precaution, according to Nieuws.nl’s ANP/AFP report. The report gave no start or reopening date. [1]

The river’s discharge is about 12,000 cubic metres per second, more than six times the average, and the high flow is the reason for the measure. The report cites Argentine media describing the closure as temporary, but does not identify those outlets. [1]
