Iguazu Falls

Iguazu Falls is located on the Iguazu River at the border between Argentina and Brazil. The word "Iguazu" comes from the language of the Guarani, an indigenous people of South America, and means "huge water." The falls consist of hundreds of waterfalls of varying sizes, cascading down a nearly 3,000 m wide arc-shaped cliff, creating a magnificent sight. In 1984, Iguazu National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Natural Heritage List. The falls' iconic view is the "Devil's Throat"—a U-shaped chasm where nearly half of the river's water converges, plunging from a height of over 80 m with a roar like muffled thunder, sending mist dozens of meters into the air, and on clear days rainbows often hang above the curtain of mist. The formation of the falls is closely related to ancient basalt geology; basalt layers formed by volcanic eruptions approx. 100 million years ago were carved and eroded by the Iguazu River over the long ages, creating the layered scenery. In the 1540s, Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca crossed the rainforest and recorded the falls, introducing them to Europe. The falls are distributed on both sides of the gorge, with Argentina and Brazil each occupying one side, offering distinct viewing experiences. The Argentine side has two routes, upper and lower: the upper route looks down from above at the tumbling, cascading falls, while the lower route winds through dense forest, allowing visitors to experience each section of the falls up close, with a new view at every step; the Brazilian side is ideal for panoramic views, where the main falls on the Argentine side can be seen as a whole, and the park is also home to many wild animals. Visitors can also take speedboats into the mist below the falls to feel the thrill of the water up close. The falls are located in a subtropical region with abundant water year-round, and the water views are even better during the rainy season.

Iguazu National Park

Iguazu National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1984. The park centers on Iguazu Falls, which spread out in a semicircle, spanning the border between Argentina and Brazil. Among them, the U-shaped gorge known as Devil's Throat features water cascading down from a great height, with rising mist covering almost the entire field of view. The Argentina side features two walking trails, the Upper Circuit and the Lower Circuit: the Upper Circuit offers a panoramic view of the falls from above with an expansive vista; the Lower Circuit stays close to the water, allowing you to feel the impact of the water up close, and you can see named waterfalls such as San Martin Falls along the way. To reach Devil's Throat, you need to take the park's ecological train and then walk along the boardwalk to the viewing platform. The park is surrounded by subtropical rainforest, which is home to wildlife such as jaguars, anteaters, howler monkeys, and South American tapirs. Groups of South American coatis are often seen near the trails, and there is also a rich variety of bird species.

Devil's Throat

Devil's Throat is one of the core sections of Iguazu Falls, located on the Argentina side. Multiple river channels converge at the edge of a semicircular basalt formation, forming a U-shaped abyss where approx. 14 waterfalls cascade down simultaneously, with a drop of over 80m, creating a concentrated and fierce volume of water. The massive water curtain plunges into a narrow rift, with mist rising and filling the air. To reach the viewing platform, you need to take the park's sightseeing train through the tropical rainforest, then walk along the steel walkway built over the upper reaches of the Iguazu River. Along the walkway, the river surface is wide and calm, occasionally dotted with flocks of birds and small islands, contrasting with the sudden drop of the waterfall at the end. The viewing platform is suspended above the main waterfall, allowing you to watch the water cascading down and feel the mist hitting your face up close.
