Situated in the Iguazu National Park, which covers some 65,000 hectares, the Iguazu Falls (“Big Waters” in the native language of the area) are without a doubt some of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world.

Two hundred and seventy-five individual cascades plunge over 90m into the river below. Their formation in a semi-circle creates a natural amphitheatre in which a truly amazing and ceaseless spectacle is played out before one´s eyes. 

This river runs through a smooth geography until it reaches a series of faults, and suddenly an 80 m. canyon in the Devil’s Throat, the main fall of Iguazú, where the water produces a thundering sound and then drains into the Parana river. 

From the visitors center you can walk around trails or in a picturesque train. There are two basic circuits: an upper path and a lower path.

The lovers of adventure travelling can access to more intense circuits. Apart from waterfalls, the jungle containing the Iguazu Falls also offers a series of alternatives in a dump but slightly fresher environment with a wide variety of animals and plants. Almost 500 species of wild fowl, 80 species of mammals and an immense variety of reptiles, fish, insects and butterflies live in this ecosystem. 

Only some meters from the Research Center is Macuco Trail, a 3 km. walking path through the dense jungle with different degrees of difficulty. It is a 2 hour walk to Salto Arrechea.
Voted as one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World, Iguazu Falls is undoubtedly the most visited place in Misiones and one of the most imposing natural attractions in Argentina and the World.
