Iguazu Falls
At Iguazu Falls, on the border between Argentina and Brazil, experience the raw power of the Iguazu River as it tumbles off the Paraná Plateau into a deep canyon. The river flows over three sides of the canyon, covering a 2.7 km (1.7 mi) stretch of cliffs. Small islands along the plateau edge divide the river into hundreds of separate waterfalls. The tallest plunge for 82 m (269 ft) into the narrow chasm known as Garganta del Diablo, or the Devil's Throat. Walk out onto the lookout point, several feet above the Devil's Throat. The raging torrent throws spray hundreds of feet into the air, so prepare to get wet. To reach the falls, you must pass through a natural park. A train provides rides from the entrance, but the 30 minute walk often takes less time, as it avoids the lines. Keep an eye out for jaguars, toucans, monkeys, butterflies, and more among the lush scenery. For travelers who use our international travel planner, Iguazu National Park holidays become easier to arrange, with trips to the Iguazu Falls and other attractions mapped out and timetabled.

One of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. Lots of great trails to hike on the Argentina side of the falls. Both national parks are great. If you go right after the rainy season, there is a good chance that some of the trails are washed one. Lot of wildlife to see including monkeys, lizards, birds, coati, and lots of butterflies.

Foz de Iguazu on the Brazil side has fantastic panoramic views of the entire falls covering both Brazil and Argentina side falls! The viewing decks, trails and helpful signs makes your trip to this natural wonder memorable! Power of nature, amazing wildlife, attractive flora and fauna of this region and very friendly people on both sides are the highlights of this world heritage site! Amenities inside the park ad transfer arrangements from and to the park are world class!
