Iguazu Falls, Argentina

Iguazu Falls

A named natural wonder in a tropical setting, the falls are one of Argentina’s most revered sights.

Comprised of 275 individual waterfalls and cataracts that spout as much as 13,000 cubic metres of water every second, the roaring Iguazú Falls produce an awe-inspiring cloud of multicoloured mist that hovers over the inland rainforest that is shared by both Argentina and Brazil.
