Experience Iguassu Falls, Argentina
The Iguassu Falls are one of the wonders of the world, and are a day trip not to be missed on your trip to Argentina. These towering walls of water are twice as large as Niagara Falls, with 275 cascades spread along a 3 kilometer (2 mile) long rim, and plunge the height of a 24 story building into the Iguassu gorge below. On the Argentine side, you can walk right up to the falling water thanks to several viewing platforms positioned for an unparalleled experience. Or take a boat tour up to the mouth of the waterfall itself to watch the endless stretches of white foam explode into the water below. When it´s time to dry off a bit, visitors can explore the surrounding natural park for a beautiful mix of Brazilian and Argentine nature, with wild orchids, macaws, and parrots all around. For a taste of Iguassu´s history, go to the old Jesuit missions that housed the first Spanish explorers who saw the falls, as well as ancient lava beds that continue to yield precious amethyst quartzes and agates. Explore the many marvelous things to do in Iguassu with a comfortable transfer, attraction tickets, or sightseeing tours. The wild beauty of Iguassu is waiting for you!
