The thrashes of anger created by the snake god ‘M’boy’, the devil’s throat!

It consists of hundreds of streams and a vast area on the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.

Among the Iguazu Falls, the most dynamic and breathtaking place is called ‘Devil’s Throat’.

 

The place has a sad legend as follows:

 

Once upon a time, a beautiful virgin was offered as sacrifice to M’boy the god of snake by tribal folks, but as the lover of the girl rescued her and escaped, the god Mboy gets angry and made the girl as ravine and waterfall and the lover palmyra tree

The real sight of the throat of the evil brings us to feel the wrath of a god blinded by jealousy, as if it would swallow everything.
