LD-Iguazu Falls

Designated Natural Heritage of Humanity in 1986 by UNESCO, the Iguassu (Brazil)/Iguazu (Argentina) Falls are a spectacular sight. Shared by two countries, the falls are formed by 275 separate waterfalls, ranging in height from 40 meters to 100 meters and are surrounded by 225 thousand hectares of tropical forests with rare and endangered species of fauna and flora. Plenty of activities are available. The Falls can be visited all year long but extended rain is common in September and October.
 
ESSENCE OF THE AREA
The 275 falls are over 3km wide and 80 km high, which make them wider than the Victoria Falls, higher than the Niagara Falls and more beautiful than both. They are beyond words or pictures, you have to hear them, feel them and see them. Waking up early in the morning and taking a walk in front of the Hotel Das Cataratas must be one of the most awesome and sublime experiences in life.
RECOMMENDED STAY
Two nights. It is so incredible you need two nights.
RECOMMENDED SIGHTSEEING & ACTIVITIES
