Iguazu Falls 2007 / 2008

THE IGUAZU

Gaze upon an endless stretch of falling water and its white foam as it explodes into the river. Demonstration of the sheer power of nature.

-wonder of the world-

The waterfall is located right at the border of the countries of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay about an hour and a half flight from Buenos Aires. Is a true wonder of nature and is heralded as the most beautiful waterfall in the world by many visitors. The waterfall itself is physically located in Argentina, but it is very common to also visit the Brazilian side as well. On the Argentinian side of the waterfall you can walk right around the falling water, take a boat tour to the mouth of the waterfall, and explore the National park next to the waterfall.

This is the main excursion in Iguazu and the highlight of everyone's trip:

An Obligatory Visit

On the other hand, the Brazilian side offers beautiful panoramic views and displays the full splendor of the wonder of the world. The surrounding jungle is well worth including in your explorations. A plethora of animals and birds make their home in the lush vegetation around the Iguazu National Park. There are also a number of other highlights in this region such as The San Ignacio Jesuit Mission Ruins, The Itaipu Dam, and the Yacutinga Lodge wild preservatory.

Devil's Throat and The Circuits

A important part of your visit of the Argentinean side of the falls

The Devil's Throat

La Garganta del Diablo (in Spanish) is the site of the biggest waterfall and the greatest sight Iguazu Falls have to offer. You can see a great amount of water falling over 270 feet from above the waterfall or from many different angles in the surrounding area. There are even helicopter tours that let you see the amazing spectacle from above for a fairly reasonable rate.

The Upper Circuit (Circuito Superior) is a half-mile loop along a protected catwalk surroundedby spectacular views of the "Devil's Throat" and the magnificent waterfalls of Iguazu. Visitors approach the falls at close (but not too close) distance, for an unparalleled experience of a natural wonder. The Lower Circuit (Circuito Inferior) provides a longer trail (3,136 feet) to view "Bossetti", "Ramirez", "Chico", "Dos Hermanos" and "San Martin" waterfalls,as they all plummet into the Iguazu River below.

Lodgings

Stay at the excellent Continental Hotel, which is actually inside the Iguazu National Park. The hotel's restaurant and rooms offer views of the wondrous falls and the lush vegetation around this true wonder of nature.
