One of them tells of a deity who intended to marry a beautiful woman named Naipi. However, the woman did not intend to become the deity’s wife, as she had another chosen heart, Taroba, a brave warrior. So she fled with her earthly sweetheart, sailing a canoe down the Iguazu River. The deity, in a great rage, split the river in two, creating a waterfall into which the fugitives fell. They were doomed to an endless fall while sitting in the canoe.
