Iguazu, One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World

Iguazu is a magnificent series of waterfalls located on the border of Argentina and Brazil. With more than 275 individual waterfalls, Iguazu Falls is the most extensive waterfall system in the world.

As the water falls over the edge of the Iguazu River, it creates a mist that rises into the sky, creating a rainbow-like effect. The Iguazu Falls is wider than the better-known Victoria Falls and taller than the Niagara Falls in North America.

Volcanic eruptions which occurred many millions of years ago created the natural wonder. The Iguazu National Park was founded in 1939, and covers an area of 1,700 square kilometers. The park is home to 420 species of birds, around 70 different species of mammals, and some endangered reptiles and amphibians. It is also home to over 2,000 species of plants. When visiting the Iguazu waterfalls, you will experience a breathtaking landscape. The water mist forms a perfect habitat for numerous insects, giant butterflies, and many different animal species.

With a bit of luck, you’ll see monkeys, frogs, snakes, and crocodiles in their natural environment. The number of rare orchids and other plants that grow only in the Iguazu area is enormous. You can discover many of the orchids on an exploration tour along the walkways.

An essential activity is to walk the Cataratas hiking trail, running along the Rio Iguazu River. It offers fantastic panoramic photo opportunities of the waterfalls. At the end of the path, an elevator takes you to the top, from which you can enjoy a spectacular view of the waterfalls.
