Iguazú Falls

Iguazú Falls

The letter «i» in Guarani means «water» and «guazu» means «big». The Iguazu Falls are the most breathtaking waterfalls in South America. Perpetual rainbows, hundreds of butterflies, immense green jungle and the energy of the falling water will leave you lost for words.

Argentina shares the falls with Brazil, and though you can visit them from either side, they are closer to the Argentine side, whilst you will have the best panoramic view from the Brazilian side. The falls can be visited all year round!
