The Iguassu Water Falls locate right at the border of Brazil and Argentina.
The Argentinean falls located 28km from downtown of Foz do Iguassu. Crossing the Iguassu River into the Argentine side by Tancredo Neves Bridge, after 30 minutes we arrive at the Argentine National Park and visit the falls.
Brazilian Falls
Visit the National Park ‘s visitors center of Iguassu National Park, then continue down the Cataratas Highway, through the rain forest of the National Park to the falls. The Iguassu falls are on the border of Brazil and Argentina where the Iguassu River drops into a gigantic horseshoe canyon. We descend the walkway, contemplating the lovely waterfalls in all of nature’s exuberance, with panoramic view of both the Argentine and Brazilian sides.
Ancient Brazilian tribes always knew about these tumultuous thunderous falls, but it was little known to worldwide until it was officially discovered by the European and Spanish explorers. Today, these falls are owned by the two UNESCO world Heritage sites – the Iguazu National Park in Argentina and the Iguacu National Park in Brazil. Taller than Niagara and wider than Victoria, the Iguazu falls are the result of a volcanic eruption that left a large crack in the earth. The watgerfall system consists of 275 falls along nearly 3 km of the Iguazuriver. At an 80 meter deep canyon in the fierce foaming cauldron of the Devil’s Throat the water produces a thundering sound. Here several falls join together hurtling down a sheer drop then draining into the Parana river.
