The Iguazu Falls constitute one of the biggest and most beautiful falls of water in the world, considered by some as the eighth wonder of the world. The volume of water at the Iguazu Falls is nine times superior to that of the Niagara Falls.
Iguazu Falls stretches along a 3 kilometer long rim that is shared by Argentina and Brazil. The falls are located 17 km to the southeast of Puerto Iguazu. With around 275 cascades making up the one majestic waterfall, the major highlight of Iguazu Falls is the crescent-shaped Devil's Throat. Argentina Iguazu Falls is located within the Iguazu National Park. Adventure enthusiasts will surely enjoy the churning white noise with the breathtaking backdrop.
An ideal time to visit the Iguazu Falls in Argentina is in between August and November. The falls are shared by the Iguazú National Park (Argentina) and Iguaçu National Park (Brazil). These parks were designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1984 and 1986, respectively. The falls and its nearby areas are an ideal trekking destination. You may view the waterfall from the river level and also undertake trekking for aerial views of the falls which are certainly worth it. The Argentinean side of the falls offers scintillating views but the Brazilian side of the falls offers equally attractive views.
Enveloped by the National Park, explore the wildlife in Argentina. Tourists can also indulge in activities such as canoeing and kayaking. Made up of many cascades producing vast sprays of water, it is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world.
