The Iguaz\u00fa Falls are one of the seven wonders of the world.<\/p>\n

The Iguaz\u00fa Falls are located on the Iguaz\u00fa River, between Argentina and Brazil.
<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The New7Wonder Foundation, on February 22, 2012, confirmed that these falls are officially one of the \u201cSeven Natural Wonders of the World.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than one hundred million people around the world voted over the Internet by text message, with more than 440 appeals from 220 countries.<\/p>\n

The Iguazu Falls are located on the Iguaz\u00fa River, on the border between the Argentine province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paran\u00e1.<\/p>\n

And they are totally inserted in protected areas. The Argentine sector is within the Iguaz\u00fa National Park, and the Brazilian sector is in the Igua\u00e7u National Park.<\/p>\n

Both parks in Argentina and Brazil were declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco, in 1984 and 1986 respectively.<\/p>\n

Within the Argentine park is the Hotel Sheraton Iguaz\u00fa<\/a> , which has a panoramic view of the Devil\u2019s Throat and the Brazilian waterfalls.<\/p>\n

Near the falls, is the Argentine city of Puerto Iguaz\u00fa<\/a> , at the confluence of the Iguaz\u00fa and Paran\u00e1 rivers. There is located the triple border with Paraguay.<\/p>\n

The whole of the Iguaz\u00fa Falls is made up of 275 falls, 80% of which are located on the Argentine side.<\/p>\n

The Devil\u2019s Throat<\/a> is quite a spectacle on its own, it is the waterfall with the greatest flow and the highest with 80 m, and also, if you go, you can enjoy it in all its majesty from only 50 m, walking the footbridges that depart from Puerto Canoas, using the ecological train service. The border between the two countries passes through this jump.<\/p>\n

You can take boat rides under the waterfalls and walk along trails appreciating some animals of the semitropical jungle.<\/p>\n

Three walks in the Iguaz\u00fa Falls
<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To visit the Iguaz\u00fa Falls can be done through three walks and a trail.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Lower Walk, starts from the viewpoint, which is reminiscent of a lighthouse due to its figure, descends by steps, some carved in the same rock, towards the Iguaz\u00fa River and walks along a beautiful pedestrian path surrounded by the exuberant jungle. At the end of the path is the Bossetti waterfall, where the water vapor produced by the shock of the water against the rocks forms a tenuous but incessant rain. Going down the path towards Punta Peligro, you can navigate the Iguaz\u00fa River and cross to San Mart\u00edn Island.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    • Paseo Superior, starting from the viewpoint, the upper part of the waterfalls is covered. Observing the falls from a higher level completely changes the vision of the landscape. The Salto Dos Hermanas, the Bossetti, the Chico, are a small preview of the imposing Garganta del Diablo. Here the water falls from approximately 70 meters high, surprising the deafening roar of the water, permanently covered by dense columns of steam, which is fired by the collision of the water with the rocks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • The Devil\u2019s Throat, go on the Falls Train and get off the train at the Devil\u2019s Throat Station. From there, you walk along the new walkway that runs 1,100 meters to the wide balconies located along the edge and in front of the Garganta del Diablo.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        • And the macuco trail is one of the traditional outings for lovers of nature observation. This trail allows access to a 20 m waterfall in the middle of the jungle. It is an opportunity to get to know the jungle, and spot macucos, platyrrhine monkeys such as the cai or the caraya monkey, coatis, mountain guans, an endless number of insects and occasionally coral vipers. Here is the Salto Arrechea.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
