Iguazu Falls Brazil

About

Nestled on the border between Brazil and Argentina, the Iguazu Falls stand as the largest waterfall system globally, a mesmerizing spectacle of natural grandeur. Divided by the Iguazu River, the falls offer a unique duality – 20% on the Brazilian side and 80% on the Argentinean side, each with its own distinctive charm. Embark on a dual-country adventure, exploring the Brazilian side from Foz do Iguaçu first. A convenient public bus takes you to the Iguazu National Park, offering panoramic views and optional nature hikes along the Iguaçu River. The Brazilian side unfolds a 5.6-mile network of walkways, granting panoramic views of the falls. Stand spellbound as the Devil’s Throat steals the show, a U-shaped cascade creating a misty curtain. Marvel at the immense power of Iguazu, where First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, upon seeing it, famously remarked, “Poor Niagara!” Whether navigating the intricate walkways or taking optional hikes, each moment resonates with the legend of a deity, immortalized in the name "Iguazu" – a fusion of Guarani words for water and big. As you stand on the walkway, surrounded by the cascading mist and endless falls, the sheer force and beauty of Iguazu Falls become an unforgettable testament to nature's majesty.
