Iguazú Falls

Iguazú Falls are located on Argentina's border with Brazil, with Iguazu National Park on the Argentine side and Iguaçu National Park on the Brazilian side. Iguazu is made up of between 150 and 300 separate falls along its roughly three-kilometer edge, a number that varies depending on the season, with heights ranging from 60 to 82 meters. It's reasonably easy to visit, especially if traveling from Buenos Aires because it's served by an international airport in Argentina (as well as one in neighboring Brazil). Iguazu Falls, with its 2.7-kilometer width and 275 waterfalls, is regarded as one of the world's most captivating sites, attracting visitors from all over the world to see and experience the cascades firsthand. Iguazu Falls, named after the Guarani word for "great water", is an important aspect of South America's political and geological framework.

These massive waterfalls, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are probably one of South America's most beautiful views. Visitors may get up and personal with the thunderous falls thanks to a network of easily accessible walkways and viewing platforms, some of which are located near the bottom of the falls, known as the Devil's Throat.
