Mocona does not follow the normal downward and forward trajectory that most waterfalls do.
Instead, it runs along the length of the river with water spilling off the side into a gorge.
The name Mocona means to swallow everything in the Guarani language and is used mostly in Argentina.
Yucuma means the big fall and is popular in Brazil.
The canyon is only visible in two places, one of which is the Mocona Falls.
The falls itself are not visible for 150 days a year when the river is full.
During this period, the falls become more like rapids.
The width of the waterfall is also subjected to water volume ranging between 1,800 meters and 3,000 meters wide.
The area where the Mocona falls are located is considered a Provincial Park which include the Yaboti Biosphere Reserve.
