IGUAZU HOLIDAYS

The Iguazu Falls are a collection of 280 waterfalls plunging into a 3 km long gorge situated on the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay. Without doubt they are the best falls in the world. They are so good because unlike other major waterfalls, there are a variety of activities surrounding them.
The extensive network of walkways on both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides actually go through and around the falls giving you different views from varying angles. Not to be missed is the exhilarating speed boat ride which takes you under the falls offering superb views from below. At the head of the falls is the majestic Garganta del Diablo (Devil’s throat) where the Parana and Iguazu rivers merge creating one thunderous waterfall. Access is via a short train ride followed by a walkway built across the river!

For those wanting adrenalin there is a short section of white water rafting along with abseiling down the side of the falls. Helicopters can take you over the falls to see them from above and the fact that the whole area is a National Park surrounded by a dense tropical forest means the area home to small mammals and hundreds of different species of birds and colourful butterflies. They are not to be missed.
