Discovering Iguassu Falls
Located on the border between Brazil and Argentina the falls are part of a virgin jungle ecosystem protected by UNESCO as a world heritage site. Four times larger than Niagara and twice as wide with 275 cascading waterfalls in a crescent shape covering over two miles of the Iguazu River.Iguassu Falls is the result of a volcanic eruption which left a large fissure in the earth. These facts do nothing to describe the grandeur and tremendous power of water thundering down 269 feet into a tropical basin.
Its sheer beauty led Eleanor Roosevelt to say "Poor Niagara" as she first set eyes on the spectacular Falls.
