Bigger than Niagara Falls and more impressive and attractive than Victoria Falls, the Iguazu Falls bridge the borders of Argentina and Brazil. One of the most awe-inspiring and stunning wonders of the natural world, a trip to Iguazu Falls is a wonderful inclusion in any itinerary on your holiday to Argentina. Even Eleanor Roosevelt unpatriotically exclaimed "Poor Niagara!" on seeing the Iguazu Falls for the first time.
The Devil's Throat is the largest of the 275 separate falls and can be seen best on the Argentine side of the border. A series of pathways running through the national park from the Hotel Sheraton Iguazu allows you to explore the falls at close range, ending at the bridge walkway to the very edge of the deafening Devil's Throat, plummeting 350 feet below into the Iguazu River.
For those feeling adventurous on their Iguazu Falls tour, you can take a thrilling speedboat ride up the Iguazu River, close to some of the lesser falls or enjoy a stunning panoramic helicopter flight over the falls. The region around the Iguaza Falls is also home to Jesuit Missions, the impressive Itaipu Dam, lush tropical forest with vivid flora and fauna which can be explored from a nearby nature lodge.
