Where are the Iguazu Falls?

The Iguazu Falls form part of the Iguazu National Park and lie nestled in a little, northern pocket of Argentina and the border of Brazil and not far from the border of Paraguay. The Iguazu Falls are made up of 275 falls along 2.7 kilometres of the Iguazu River. One of the most well known spots of the Falls is the ‘Devil’s Throat’. It’s a U-shaped, 82m high, 150m wide, 700m long cataract. It also marks the border between Argentina and Brazil.

Together with its impressiveness, the surrounding subtropical rainforest that has more than 2,000 species of plant life and is home to such wildlife as tapirs, giant anteaters, ocelots, monkeys and jaguars, made the Iguazu Falls rightfully receiving inscription to the UNESCO register during 1984.
