Nothing in the world of water compares to or is more impressive than the natural spectacle provided by the stunning group of 275 waterfalls that make up the Iguazu Waterfalls. Located a few kilometres from the union of the Iguazu River to the Parana River, the waterfalls take you to a state of awe with their size, water flow and strong current.
The geologic change that gave birth to the Iguazu Waterfalls took place nearly 150 million years ago and shook the earth crust around the globe. At the Iguazu region, those changes created a gigantic canyon, full of rock steps through which the grand Iguazu flows, producing a huge steam cloud and a deafening sound. The average flow of the Waterfalls is around 1.800 m3 per second, for an average amount of 10 million litres per second. During the rainy season, the stream of the Iguazu River increases and shows an even more beautiful spectacle.
The biggest waterfall is the Devils Throat, which is 90 meters high. The volume of water poured down creates a cloud of drizzling water that can be watched from kilometres away. So gear up your energy and sense of adventure to view this stunning waterfall.
