Iguazu Falls may be the most popular waterfalls in Argentina, yet Mocona Falls take the crown for the most exceptional. Mocona does not take after the typical descending and forward trajectory that most waterfalls do. Rather, it runs along the length of the stream with water spilling off the side into a crevasse. At 3 km long, it is maybe the main waterfalls on the planet to run parallel to the river instead of perpendicular.
Mocona Falls, otherwise called Yucumã Falls, is spotted in the Uruguay waterway, in the area of Misiones, in Argentina, 337 kilometers from the city of Posadas and 322 kilometers from Iguazu Falls. Since the Uruguay waterway goes about as a regular outskirt in the middle of Argentina and Brazil, this unique geological feature is imparted by both nations. The name Moconá signifies "to swallow everything" in the Guarani dialect and is utilized basically as a part of Argentina. Yucumã signifies "the enormous fall" and is famous in Brazil.
An unordinary gimmick of the Uruguay River is the vicinity of a submerged ravine or trench at the bottom of the stream channel. The gulley, which is accepted to have framed amid the Ice Age, when the atmosphere was drier and the waterway was narrower, is dependent upon 100 meters profound and 15 - 30% of the width of the stream. The gulley is just noticeable in two places, one of which is the Moconá Falls.
The falls itself are not obvious for 150 days a year when the stream is full. Amid this period, the falls get to be more like rapids. At the point when water level gets to be low and falls underneath the edge of the ravine, it begins spilling into the now uncovered gorch, and the Mocona Falls is structured. Contingent upon the volume of the water dragged by the Uruguay River, the tallness of the falls changes from five to seven meters. The width of the waterfall is additionally subjected to water volume going between 1,800 meters and 3,000 meters wide.
The zone where the Moconá falls are spotted is viewed as a Provincial Park which incorporate the Yabotí Biosphere Reserve. Countless lodges have been settled down in the territory which give convenience to guests looking for water activities, for example, rubber boat rafting, canoe outings, kayaking and safaris along the waterway and creeks around this wetland.
