Monumento a las cataratas del Iguazú, Buenos Aires

Monumento a las cataratas del Iguazú, Buenos Aires, Fountain at Avenida 9 de Julio and Avenida de Mayo, Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The Monumento a las cataratas del Iguazú stands on the plazoleta Provincia de Misiones, at the corner of Avenida de Mayo and Avenida 9 de Julio. Its main element is a raised wall forming an incomplete circle that stands for the Garganta del Diablo, with water flowing continuously from its upper edge. The open side of the circle is a flat walkway that lets visitors approach the falling water. The whole work is enclosed by a fence over 250 metres long.

The monument was inaugurated on 11 December 2013 on the plazoleta Provincia de Misiones, at the corner of Avenida de Mayo and Avenida 9 de Julio, a few blocks from the Obelisco and the Casa Rosada. The project was coordinated by the architect Sergio Dobrusín, and stone called piedra mora was brought from Misiones Province to build it.

The monument is built with "piedra mora", a stone from the geological formation of the Iguazu Falls, brought from Misiones Province to Buenos Aires to reinforce the symbolism. The raised wall forms an incomplete circle standing for the Garganta del Diablo, and water flows continuously from its top.

The location near the Obelisk and Casa Rosada makes it easy to find using landmarks in the area. A flat walkway lets you get close to the water for a direct view and to feel the spray from the flowing water.

The monument brings a condensed version of the falls into the city, allowing visitors to experience the power of the Devil's Throat without traveling to Misiones Province. This recreation captures something of the natural spectacle in a downtown setting.
