The Iguassu Falls are often heralded as the most beautiful falls in the world.
Vastly larger than Niagara with its 275 different cataracts and three-mile spread, the mighty 266-foot-high Iguassu crashes thunderously between Brazil and Argentina, 269 feet into the Iguassu River.
Sun and water vapor often create rainbows over the falls, which crown this beautiful landscape. Take in the stunning panorama offered by the Brazilian side’s viewing platforms, or head over to the Argentina side to witness “the Devil’s Throat,” a gargantuan, 262-foot high, 49-foot wide horseshoe-shaped gorge through which plummets a cascade of water, falling into the river with a deafening roar.
Zodiac trips also offer a closer experience of the falls from the river below, allowing visitors to even pass behind them.
