Four times wider than Niagara Falls, the mighty Iguazú Falls are the most overwhelmingly magnificent in all of South America. Surrounded by beautiful subtropical rainforest these falls are one of the most impressive natural wonders of the world.
Viewed from below, the tumbling water is majestically beautiful in its setting of begonias, orchirds, ferns and palms. Above, the impact of the water hovers a perpetual high cloud of mist in which the sun creates blazing rainbows.
