Declared a World Natural Patrimony of Humanity by UNESCO, the falls are one of the top attractions on a visit to Argentina . Iguazú Falls have also featured in several movies, most notably ‘The Mission’ in 1986. Stretching almost 3 km along the river of the same name the spectacular Iguazú Falls carry one of the largest volumes of water in the world. Made up of almost 300 individual cascades it takes a full day to explore along the steel walkways, which wind through and over the tumbling waters.

One part of this enormous waterfall is a single plunge deep into a gorge known as the Garganta del Diablo or “Devil’s Throat”. Visiting the Brazilian side of the Falls allows you to witness this magnificent thundering cascade from below; climbing to the restaurant at the top you can enjoy the fabulous panoramas of the Argentinean part of the Falls. To get a real taste of the jungle you can stay in a lodge in the surrounding lush sub-tropical rainforest. A trip to Iguazú makes for an unforgettable experience.
