FOZ DO IGUAZU, Brazil—The majestic Iguazu Falls that straddle the border of Brazil and Argentina have been hit hard by rains that are keeping visitors from seeing the falls up close and leading officials to take measures to prevent flooding.

The amount of water flowing at one of South America’s biggest tourist destinations is now about 13 million liters (roughly 3,434,000 gallons) per second. That’s up from the roughly 1.5 million liters (roughly 396,000 gallons) per second two weeks ago, according to park administrators on the Brazilian side.
