Taller than Niagara Falls, twice as wide with 275 cascades spread in a horseshoe shape over nearly two miles of the Iguazu River, Iguazu Falls are the result of a volcanic eruption which left yet another large crack in the earth.  These matter of fact details do nothing to describe the grandeur ofthe falls, the tremendous amount of water (an average of 553 cubic feet per second) thundering down 269 feet.  Four times the width of Niagara Falls, Iguazu Falls are divided by various islands into separate waterfalls. During the rainy season
of November - March, the rate offlow may reach 450,000 cubic feet (12,750 cubic m) per second.  19uazu Falls, called Foz do 19ua<;uin Brazilian, and Cataratas del Iguazu in Spanish, lie on the Argentina - Brazil border and are a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site.

The falls are part of a singular practically virgin jungle ecosystem protected by Argentine and Brazilian national parks on either side of the cascades.  Two thirds of the falls are on the Argentinean side of the river where you can also tour Iguazu National Park walking through jungle trails and bird hikes.  The view from the Brazilian side is the most panoramic and there are helicopter rides out over the falls from Foz do Igua<;u.You may also take boat rides out to the falls. Morning photographs are best due to light.
