Yes, the walkways and paths are generally safe during the full moon tour at Iguazu Falls, but there are some important considerations:
Well-Maintained Trails: The park authorities ensure that the trails and walkways are well-maintained and clearly marked, even at night. These paths are designed for tourists, so they are safe to walk on.
Guided Tours: Most full moon tours are guided, which adds an extra layer of safety. Guides are familiar with the terrain and can ensure the group stays on the designated paths.
Lighting: While the full moon provides some natural light, additional low-level lighting is typically used along the walkways to help guide tourists safely. However, some areas may still be a little dimmer than others, so it’s important to stay vigilant.
Weather Conditions: If the weather is rainy or slippery, the paths can become more challenging. In such cases, the park might delay or even cancel tours for safety reasons.
Wildlife: As the falls are located in a rainforest, some nocturnal wildlife may be present along the trails. Though rare, it’s always good to be aware of your surroundings.
The full moon tour is designed to be a safe and enjoyable experience, but visitors should always follow the guide’s instructions, wear appropriate footwear, and be cautious, especially if the weather is not ideal.
