The Iguazu Falls which, considered being one of the Seven Wonders of the World due to their natural magnificence and their wonderful vegetation, astound those who have the possibility of getting in contact with them.
The falls are divided between Brazil and Argentina – while the Brazil side is most spectacular, the Argentine side is more pleasant to explore, but to see them properly one must visit both sides. At the Argentinean side several pasarelas give good views of smaller falls, and, in the distance, the Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s Gorge).
A train from the visitor center operates regularly to shuttle visitors from site to site. At the last stop, follow the trail to the lookout perched right on the edge of the mighty falls. Of all sights on earth, this must come closest to the experience of sailing off the edge of the earth imagined by early European sailors, as the deafening cascade plunger to a murky destination, blurred by the rising vapor soaking the viewer.
A dazzling panorama of cascades whose power overwhelms the sounds of the surrounding jungle, Las Cataratas del Iguazu ( Iguazu Falls) refers to the spectacular canyon of waterfalls fed by the Rio Iguazu. This spectacle is one of South America’s most extraordinary sights.

The excursion lasts 1 hour 45 minutes, departure every 15 minutes.
The park presents the beauty of the subtropical jungle that shelters 2,000 vegetable species.,450 different kinds of birds (toucans, humming-birds, turkey buzzards, woodpeckers, etc.) 80 species of mammals (oso melero, peccary, jaguar, etc.) and many species of reptiles, amphibious and fish, as well as countless types of invertebrates, like butterflies.
That is why it is highly recommended to walk quietly when you are inside the park to enjoy the sounds, the aromas and the movements of the peculiar inhabitants of the jungle.
Every tourist visiting and enjoying Iguazu National Park must experience the sensation of the Ecological Train To The Jungle, through the middle of the jungle – experiencing the aromas, weather, and the sounds of the forest.
