At Moconá, the Uruguay River falls along a submerged longitudinal fault instead of crossing a conventional cliff.
A licensed boat reaches the feature only when upstream water is low enough for the drop to emerge.

Experience FAQ
Boat beside Moconá's sideways falls
Q01Are the falls visible year-round?
No. High river levels submerge the fault and erase the visible drop.
Q02Can we view them without a boat?
Park viewpoints give context, but the characteristic lengthwise fall is best understood from an authorized river excursion when operating.

Plan Moconá around the river
Follow Patagonia toward the ice, or take the northern road from vineyard shade to Iguazú's thunder.
Tell me which landscape you keep returning to, and we will build the right Argentina journey around it.
I would travel south for whales, lenga forests and glaciers calving into blue water. I would turn north for Mendoza's vineyards, the white deserts of the Puna and the roar of Iguazú. Both deserve a journey of their own.
