Iguazu Falls

On the Border of Brazil and Northern Argentina.

The semicircular waterfall at the heart of this site is some 80 m high and 2,700 m in diameter and is situated on a basaltic line spanning the border between Argentina and Brazil. Made up of many cascades producing vast sprays of water, it is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world. The surrounding subtropical rainforest has over 2,000 species of vascular plants and is home to the typical wildlife of the region: tapirs, giant anteaters, howler monkeys, ocelots, jaguars and caymans.[UNESCO]

    The intensity of the falls varies with the amount of water being released from the dam upstream but, in my experience spanning 30 years, full-force or more subdued this is a must-see natural wonder.

    The mini-train and over-water walkway are both wheelchair accessible.
