A little more perspective

The selected section is Garganta del Diablo, the principal high-volume fall, rather than the whole network of Iguazú cascades. The rounded vertical difference runs from the upper river lip to the receiving water in the gorge.

CONAE's educational terrain model distinguishes the broad upstream river from its much narrower channel below the falls. The illustration retains the curved gorge section; mist and surrounding forest are not additional calibrated height.
